So its been raining hard all day today. Anyways I hop into my ride and turn on the heater/ac an I hear a chirping ticking sound coming from the vents. Its like you put a card in between the spokes on a bicycle kind of sound. Anyways Is there any solution to this ? Thanks

 

Anyone ?

 

Any solutions ?

 

Take it to the dealer.

 

It almost sounds as if you sucked in a leaf or something from the outside air vents. Did you try varying the fan speed from very slow to very fast to see if you could dislodge whatever is there?

So today I noticed the chirping coming from the drivers side. It has toned down a little bit but still present. Any suggestions ?

 

I get a lot of the flying seeds from our maples and every once in a while one gets into the fan on my other car,if it is a seed or leaf it will either break up or decay.Give it a couple or weeks and it might go away on it own.

 

So thats what you think it is. I dont know if it had something to do with the weather.

 

Still hear the chirping sound coming from the drivers side vent. Can someone please help me solve this ? Thanks really appreciate it my Jag Family.

 

I had this problem on a Mercedes SL and it was fixed by removing the fan cover and spraying some lubricant on the bearings. The chirping is caused by uneven friction due to rust. I recommend one of the rust dissolving lubricants. I've had great results with Kroil but there are numerous others. WD40 is good but doesn't last that long.

 

How many fans is their and where are they located ?

 

YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW?????
ITS THE FOAM INSULATION OFF THE RECIRC DOOR. IT DETERIORATES, COME LOOSE AND ENDS UP IN THE SQUIRREL CAGE RIGHT BEHIND IT. TO REMOVE, TURN THE RIRC ON AND THE AC. THIS WILL OPEN THE DOOR TO SEE INSIDE AT THE CAGE. NOW DISC THE BLOWER MOTOR CONNECTOR UNDER THE HOUSING, USEALLY A SMALL WHITE 2 PIN CONNECTOR WITH TO 10-2 GAUSE WIRES. IT CLIPS TO THE BOTTOM OF THE HOUSING, DISCONNECT IT TO STOP THE BLOWER,. YOU NEEDD A BRIGHT FLASHLIGHT TO SEE INSIDE PREFFERRABLY A POCKET LED 1. IF YOU CAN SEE THE FOAM MOMENTARILY TOUCH THE CONNECTOR TOGETHER AGAIN TO ROTATE THE CAGE, WHEN YOU SEE IT YOU CAN FASHION A METAL COAT HANGER INTO A HOOK TO LOOP AROUND/INTO THE FOAM AND PULL IT OUT. i USE A LONG METAL PICK WITH A 90

 

^Wait a second your going to fast I have no idea where the RECIRC DOOR is ? Where is the Blower Motor connector for drivers side located at ? Can you post some diagrams or something. Thanks

 

PULL THE LOWER DASH PANEL(KNEE BOLSTER) ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. NOW BOLTED TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DASH AND FIRWALL IS THE LEFT SIDE BLACK BLOWER MOTOR. THERES A RECTANGULAR DOOR FACING YOU. OPERATE THE RECIRC BUTTON ON THE AC CONTROL PANEL/ ITS THE PIC OF THE CAR WITH CIRCULAR ARROW. YOU CAN SEE THE DOOR OPEN AND CLOSE, WHEN OPEN IT RECIRCULATES THE AIR IN THE CABIN, HENSE THE NAME. WHEN ITS OPEN YOU CAN LOOK PAST IT TO THE BLOWER FAN CAGE AND USEALLY SEE THE FOAM PAD STUCK IN IT WHEN YOU TURN OFF TH BLOWER, THAT PAD ORIGINALLY WAS ON THAT DOOR FACE TO SEAL IT....I CANT GIVE DIAGRAMS OR PICS, SOMEONE ELSE WILL HAVE TO HELP ON THAT, i NEED TO GET BACK TO WORK AND MAKE MONEY. I JUST THOUGHT IDE HELP YOU SINCE NO ONE ELSE HIT IT YET. ITS A COMMON ISSUE AND THE "CARD IN BYCYCLE SOUND" IS ALWAYS THE DEAD GIVEAWAY CAUSE THATS EXACTLY THE SOUND IT MAKES ONLY ALITTLE MORE MUFFLED

 

Sorry about dredging up old threads, but I have the same issue, but mine is on the passenger side.

Is it right under the bolster on the passenger side?
