Hi guys,

Do u guys notice the annoying fluttering sound that comes out of our car's heater fan??? Have ne of u taken it to the dealer's to get it fixed ??

Ive noticed it recently and almost always whenver I use Auto Climate control, the center Face vents never go on and its very annoying cuz the car is dead cold from inside...

Regards,
Ash.........

 

no mine doesn't do that, but what mine does is that when i turn the defog on ( with AC off )and I turn it to close enough to max. it has a strange sound coming out from the dash board, have anybody notice that, and what can i do to fix it other than taken it in dealer and have them fix it??

I think the problem is related to "mode" button that you have. Try this. turn off your climate control, and try pressing "mode" button to switch air flow from feet, head area, and finally to your window. Listen to it closely, mine makes discusting noise when its switched to the window... something in the mechanism that changes air flow to defrost window....

 

...or then again, you might have a leaf trapped in a part of your ventilation system.

 

Sounds like you have debris stuck in the fan ,This is an easy fix and you could do it yourself if you are inclined to want to give it a try.But if your car is under warranty let the dealer take care of it.If you need help let me know.Jens

 

I dont know about any weird noises, but my car is so loud when the heat is on, I have trouble hearing my stereo when it is quarter of the way up with my heat on and my car parked, but as soon as I turn the heat off its like the engine isn't even on, but hey it keeps me nice and warm so I cant *****.

 

I have the exact problem...it does seem like it sounds like a leaf is stuck. You will only hear the noise when there is SUFFICIENT flow of air to make the noise. I only heard mine when i had the fan on MAX and the air being recycled. Other than that i wouldn't hear the noise. I brought it to the dealer and the replaced my "FAN MOTOR"

Your other question to air being blowen out of the center vent. When you have it on certain modes...you will get no or very little air comming from the center vent. Mostly when both feet and face vents are activated...i guess the blower isn't strong enough to feed all vents. I don't know is this is normal or if somehtings wrong with it, but i have it also

 

so after they replace your " FAN MOTOR" and the noise go away??

This IS NOT a problem. The center vent is designed to not blow too strongly. Instead, the car is suppose to Heat or Cool EVENLY.

Anybody remember our older cars ?
4 vents on the dash ? Real strong hot or cold air ??
The two people in the front gets air blown on them all the time.
The passengers in the back dying of heat or cold ?
This is what the newer vent systems are designed to prevent.

 

Mine had the same fluttering noise last year. It only happens when the temperature is low (ie: in the winter). This year, the flutter went away by itself. Instead, I now have a quiet whinning noise. But that also has seemed to have decreased substantially already. Hopefully it will follow this trend and by next year everything will be quiet! Otherwise....maybe I'll get em to replace the fan motor.

BTW, do they have to rip apart the dash to replace the fan motor?

 

Yeah, the noise was gone....they did rip apart something inside the car....they got all my carpeting all dirty!! PISSED!!!

 

I need help on how to get to the blower motor..

I have the same problem
