When I turn my ac or heat for that matter on in my 05 coupe I hear a whine of some sort. It sounds like something is in the fan but I cant imagine what could have got in there it only has 5,000 miles on it I got it about 2 weeks ago used. Has any one experienced this problem? It is sill under warranty so I am not that worried about just curious to the cause of the sound.

 

I prefer a dry red, but it depends on the entre. I find wine only annoys me if you mix the menu.

 

lol sry typed it fast. I am at work trying not to get caught goofing off. wine = good
whine in ac = bad

 

It totally depends on the vintage as some years cause a harmonic distortion upon stimulation via ignition.

 

I'm sorry. I, once again, couldn't help myself!

As to the problem, I've seen a few folks on here find leaves and other detritus in the fan housing. Do a search.

Hopefully it's not a mouse!

 

lol it is fine, where is the fan located so i can check it. sry my xfire did not come with an owners manual.

 

I have the same thing in my roadster. It's pretty quiet and I consider it normal. Mine winds down in sound after I turn the key off. If it gets any louder I'll look into it.

 

I believe that the fan location is in back of the cabin air filter which is below your glove compartment.

(Sorry about the wine joking, whining sounds in your car can be annoying)

 

ok thanks when i get off work ill check behind the filter... the filter still should be good how often do you guys normally change yours?

Thanks
Chris

 

Arc, pull your filter and check the duct work for leaves and tree seeds. My car is garaged and only gets driven six months of the year and when I changed my filter this year there was all kinds of leaves and weed seed in the filter. According to the service manual the fan is just behind the filter and that you need to remove the lower instrument panel cover and you should see a blower motor cover door.

 

thank Idaho will do it first thing when i get home if the proplem continues ill take it to a dealership and hope warrenty covers the proplem. If they tell me it is leafs in the fan then i will clean it my self. Thanks again for all the help guys

Thanks
Chris

You can download a owners manual here plus some other files that you might find helpful. https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...ad.php?t=13875

 

The bottom of the fan disconnects the same way the filter does. Slide the levers over and you can clean out the fan housing.
As for filters the best I saw on the forum is if you smell "pickles" it is time to change it.
