    Hi,

    recently I experienced the following issue when turning on the A/C
    in my Honda Accord '94 (~100,000 miles). There is some whizzing sound
    like when fan makes some noise.

    It doesn't always come up when I turn the A/C on, but it usually stops
    when I turn it off. Sometimes (more rarely) I noticed that this noise
    comes
    up even with the A/C off.

    I had my mechanic check it today and he told me that the cooling fan
    motor
    bearings are getting bad so they need to be replaced. Could this be
    related
    to the A/C? Also, might there be an additional fan that is getting
    bad?

    TIA

    Pull the fan out before you replace it and see if there is any refuse
    inside. A leaf inside makes precisely this noise.
