My 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan - when I first turn on my heater, the fan makes a loud noise as if something is caught but then as it warms up, it's not as noticable. Just started doing this a few weeks ago. The heat works but it seems to be with the fan.

could be cold oil in the power steering making the pump whine or in the transmission
may be a transmission oil change or pump oil change could point to the problem
Hi............ Sounds like the fan motor, but first check the resistor pack........ normally fails first..... sometimes though you end up renewing both..... would think by the age of the vehicle that this will be the case........ Hope this helps...... Steve ....... Botswana
Yes . Your heater is actually not an Electrical Heater or a Separate Heating system . Actually if uses the same Radiator Line . When Radiator is heated up it is cooled down with radiator Fan and coolant . But when you use the heater function , this hot fluid is passed through a heating coil tube and blower fan is used to take that heat inside the car .
So I think now you understand , why you are not heated up in a short run . You really need to make the Engine + Radiator Warmer ( that is natuarlly happened when you run more) to get Warm air inside.

Misalignment of the belt, incorrect belt, worn or loose tensioner, Too tight of an adjustment (many service centers do this on purpose so when the belt breaks in it becomes properly adjusted, I do not believe in this philosophy), The belt is actually one long belt called a serpentine belt.....
