Something's stuck in my AC vents..
From time to time when I turn my AC on it'll sound like there's some paper or something flapping against the AC fan blades near the passenger floor.. then the flapping stops and it sounds like something's stuck higher up near the vents, constricting AC airflow and making a really annoying loud sound..
I popped off the vents above my stereo and looked in there, but there was a screen in my way that I'd need to remove...and I couldn't see anything from there. What's the easiest way to open the system up and check it?
Thanks,
Zach

Being that there are screen in the duct works I doubt anything got in there, though strange things may happen. opening the it up is a pita and since something getting in there is doubtful IMO, I would think it has something to do with ur fan. I had my fan go bad and there was play in the shaft of the motor, this was giving me a noise similar to urs> good luck.

So does anybody know how to open this thing up? I'd like to just get a mirror in there with a light if possible to check for obstruction.

LoL, You think you have it bad? Well, my work gave me a RSA fob so I can login to work from home... well, the heat vents on the floor under the seat stole that... (i think, last scene on the floor of car).... GONE... Oh and, the heat vents under my seat also stole my locking key for my mags....

take the center dash appart (radio vacinity) and inpect what u can see, maybe u have a separated duct or something. I was also thinking that maybe a bug got in there, I got one in my cluster and still don't know how that bugger got in through the gap between the plastic and trip adjuster **** lol. Do you run your a/c in vent mode? or recirc mode i dunno>g luk

I usually have my AC on a mix of fresh/inside air, and either way it makes a sound...
I'll take the glove apart this weekend and take the screen out and see what I can find.

the blade on the fan near the cabin filter that is accessible by taking off your glovebox is rubbing against something.
