my glovebox ticks

Post by passtimik »

Anybody ever had an issue behind the glove box making a clicking noise? When i engage the front defogger the noise begins. I can make it stop if i switch to the front blowers or the floor blowers,but it automaticly starts when i use the defoggers. Thx

You need a new recirculator motor. Or "repair" the existing by disassembling/swapping gear position around.http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id ... id=4456Fun times are ahead, unfortunately.

If you have any questions about the process, do post it up. It was a miserable experience changing the one out on ours and I still have a socket unaccounted for somewhere in the depths of the dash.

eBay saves but if ticking bugs you just unplug the recirc jou won't have controlOf max AC but at least no ticking
