I've been told you either have to replace the blower or you can lubricate the bushings.

Lubricate fan should cure the problem

Suggestion

Is it possible that it is an actuator that uses vacuum to control/direct airflow?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

13 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I thought it was just my car that made this high pitched squeal when the ac is on and at a stoplight. I drove my brothers 911 and the same thing happened. It's weird? It goes away if i tap on the throttle. Sometimes it's very LOUD. Any clue? thanks, bao

POST 3Original post

is your radio on? maybe its coming through there (harmonic noise)...

POST 5Original post

This doesn't fit with tapping the throttle, but I sometimes get a whine from the A/C fan. Goes away if I manually adjust the fan speed. Might want to try that as well. I haven't tried to fix it yet, but assume that lubricating the fan should cure the problem.

POST 6Original post

I get the same sound when the fan is cranked all the way. I turn it down one notch and it disappears. Almost as if the sound is as a result of the air trying to escape the cabin.

POST 7Original post

yes i get that too and it goes away if you put the fan on recirculating. The sound comes from the air squeezing through the car door seem or somewhere else it can escape from. Try putting it on recirc to eliminate that from the possibilities list and then let us know.

POST 8Original post

I get the same sound. Is it possible that it is an actuator that uses vacuum to control/direct airflow?

POST 9Original post

I've got the same problem...and Ive chased it down to the fresh air blower in the front. It usually only starts when you increase the speed of the fan.....if you back it off, sometimes the squeel will go away. I've been told you either have to replace the blower or you can lubricate the bushings. Does your noise come from the area of the dash or the front firewall? If you can get it to squeal for you in your garage, open the hood and see if you can isolate the area of the screeching....I think you'll see it's that dogone fresh air blower.

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

HAHAHa! only my wife was in the car.... But it also happened without her so i know it's not her. It's exactly as chuck described. it's coming from the front either from the firewall or the dash. I'll have to check up on that. Thanks guys

POST 13Original post

i get something similair... sounds like a flapping noise... almost like when you have the sunroof open and you hear the whoomp whoomp whoomp of the air flow. Only when it is really hot though and the a/c is on max with recirc on (i believe). think it is normal. maybe has to do with the vacuum hoses closing the outer recirc vents?
