Thread: clicking sound under dash

whenever i turn on my heat/AC/or just cool air, there is a clicking sound comming from under the passenger side dash board...it sounds like a fan rubbing against something but air still flows thru the vents...it doesnt matter wut temp or which vents r blowing the air, the clicking is ALWAYS there when i have the fan on...wut is this and is it hard to fix???

your fan might be dirty. does it vary with the speed of the fan?

ya 1 2 and sometimes 3 make the noise not 4 n 5... i took it out n cleaned it...still makes sound

take the fan apart and see where its rubbing. If you can't figure out the cause of the problem and you dont want to buy a new fan, you could file down the plastic where its rubbing. If you decide to go this route, only take off what is needed. I'd recommend using a metal file or a dremel tool.

it doesnt make the sound when i spin it in my hands which leave me to believe its rubbing (but shows no marks) or the actual motor is bad

Can you change the air temp from the vents, meaning hot air then cold air. When the blend door actuator goes bad, it often has a clicking noise coming from it, Skip

ya eerything works fine, temp...fan speeds... it just clicks like its hitting something or the motor is clicking

hmm thats weird its so annoying!
