deezerdSTS Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 In my 1997 Seville STS, I have a hugely loud rattling noise coming from behind the center control panel (radio/climate control). When I start the car, the main blower will start up quietly, then about 30 sec. later the noise kicks in directly behind the control panel. Is this a bad fan or auxiliary blower as I suspect? Also, how do I remove the panel to change it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 I think the blower motor on your car is on the firewall. Is it coming from there or is it coming from the 1" square grill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deezerdSTS Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 The main blower is on the firewall, yes. This one also has an aux-blower assembly going under the center console, to send air to the rear seats. The noise is coming from under the A/C control panel surface, just in front of the shifter. Sometimes it waits longer to start, but once it goes off the noise tends to stay on. (The Haynes manual I have unfortunately doesn't have any illustrations of the assembly.)

Ranger Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Sounds like it's the auxiliary blower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
