Hi, I've got an annoying buzzing coming from behind the dash of my petrol '97 SX estate.

It seems to be coming from around the central ventilation duct region.

It starts when I put the key onto the first position, ie where the stereo will work.

It sounds a bit like a poor quality tape player motor.

It doesn't matter what I do with the heater controls it still does it (the ventilation blower works fine incidentally).

 

Any ideas?

Cheers, Mave :rolleyes:

The noise will be coming from the small fan located behind the alarm LED. Its purpose is to draw air in across the aircon interior temperature sensor. They become quite dirty with dust so quite often a clean up combined with a lubrication from a light oil solves the problem.
