Fan Noise?

Post by mtvibegirl »

Has anyone else had a problem with their fan making a strange noise? It kind of comes and goes, but it seems to be getting worse!I have an appointment on Monday at my dealership, so hopefully they can get it taken care of for me.

from the blower fan? if you have any leaves stuck in there, that noise comes and goes. If there was a fault with the fan it would be more consistant but you never know. Would be a good idea to go check it out.

I just got my car into the dealer for a fan noise complaint. I've noticed a slight click/gear noise as I accelerate mildy from a stop. Noise comes from the front passenger side and disappears before second gear. Fan controls must have the air compressor running (in my case defrost). Happens with any fan speed. Service advisor heard it. Intermittent for sure. Dealer ordered a TXV valve part 52845. Advisor says mine is the second car they've seen. Says they tore the first one apart and changed everything to figure it out. Waiting for the part .....

See my comments in A/C Compressor noise related to fan noises. Dealer had a fix.
