@tjts1, sorry for the headline. It is really annoying when I start the car. what would you have put as a headline?

I wouldnt turn it on with that disconnected. Its an emissions device and would most likely throw an annoying code. It appears to be a simple DC motor that needs to be blown out. The fan turbines act like a speaker cone and amplify the screeching of the carbon covered commutator.
