heater noise

heater noise
is it normal when you are running just the floor vents for the windshield defroster fans to run very loudly when in setting 3 or 4? I cant tell much difference between just floor and blend. If i irun the heat at just setting 2 it is relitively quiet.
thanks

that seems very strange. why even have a AC light if it is going to come on automaticly anyway? my PT did that but only for defrost mode. how do you turn the AC off then? I dont think that is the noise.

Do you mean the air conditioning, as in does the a/c run while in floor only mode?

I have the same issue as Eric. When I turn my system to floor mode with the fan above the 1 setting, there is a loud sound that comes from the defrost area above the dash. It is not the sound of the AC compressor. It is the sound of air seemingly being blown at high velocity through a small openning. Do the rest of you have quiet fan operation in this mode?

The sound you are hearing should just be the one fan blowing air into the car. Then the ducts tell the air where to go by using the selector on the dash. The air is coming into the car via the vents just above the hood and in front of the windshield by the wipers. You will hear the sound coming from the forced air through that region before it is duct to the floor or where ever. Hope this helps.

Never really paid any attention to this till the temps got into the single digits (F not C). BY the way.... I was planning on putting up my baby for the winter months, but I'm addicted to the seat warmers that my other car doesn't have. :D

i know this is an old thread, but did anyone ever settle this issue? i just noticed that when my vents are set to floor only, it blows through the dash vents also and it's mighty loud at 3 or 4.

Well it got a little chilly here earlier in the week and I used the heater for the first time. It was very loud on the 3-4 range. Much louder than I would have anticipated.

That was one of the first things I noticed when I used my heater for the first time. I was thinking one of the doors that directed the airflow in the dash was messed up or sticking.
