Weird buzzing noise



All,

when I switched the ignition on in my car this morning, there was a buzzing coming from the glove box area, which did not go off once I started the engine.
I have never heard this before, any one have any ideas?

cheers

  yep.
sure its there? check up near the interior lights, it could be the climate control sensor fan. common problem it seems!! mine does it.
 

ant

  yep.
weird thing is, i pulled down the plastic trim and took the fan out - turned on the ignition and it was quiet as!!!!??????

put it back and buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz???????
 
so if the thing that connects near the interior light is disconnected, thats why my climate control might not work then?

does anyone know the part number???

just chucked my old one out with the part number, DOH!! i have stored it for weeks too!
 
i guess the moral of this storey is dont disconnect things that you dont know about......

i did indeed find the sensor, which i thought must be for the alarm and disconnected it, the buzzing stopped, i thought great, i fixed it. a few weeks l;ater i noticed that my air con wasnt working properly, it was not changiong the temp when i wanted to adjust it, i had to swicth off the engin and then switch it back on for the temp to adjust, i took my car to an auto electricain, who said to replace the computer and charged me 40 quid to inform me of this, i then went to reno who wanted something like 160 or 260 for the unit, the local breakers had one for 60 quid so i bought that one, still didnt work, took it back to the electricain but still no joy. he suggested that i leave the car with him at 30 an hour and he'll find the problem.

just read a post above, went to my car and connected the device, i thought i had chucked it, and the air con now works fine, might need a charge, but the air is cool and the temp controll works fine!

lesson learned

I also have this buzzing...can someone clarify how to fix it. Is it an easy DIY job?

Its been doing my head in since i bought the car 6 months ago, i just thought it was something to put up with hahaha

Cheers if you can help

take the interior light down, look up and you will see two 20 torx screws, take them out, drop unit down fit new part then put it all back.
10 mins max.
