could be a faulty bearing in which you would need to replace the blower motor.

try playing with the buttons.....switch the fan from face, to feet, to both. Turn your AC on and off, etc.

I had something similar, and it was driving me nuts.....I tried looking everywhere for where it was coming from....then my girlfriend was in the car and i told her about it and how it was driving me nuts.....she played with a few buttons, turned the AC on, and it stopped making that noise. Havent heard it since.

Yeah. That was a little embarrassing.

There is no reason that should have "fixed" the noise, probably just a coincidence.

me??? It was my girlfriend who was the genius on that one. It didnt make much sense to me intially, but there must have been something stuck somewhere, like you said maybe a leaf, and the air going over it made it vibrate making the noise. When you switch the airflow, it probably dislodged whatever it is......

Glad to hear it worked.
