Mystery Item Of The Day

[neuro]

Hi all,

Been having weird mechanical 'crickety' motor noises from under the dash near the passenger side. It happens at random times when i start the engine which lasts for 10-30 mins..but then again on other days its quite discreet.

It been bugging the heck out of me, until yesterday when i decided to inspect where it was coming from. I pulled apart the glove box, cleaned out the massive amounts of dirt and bugs from the aircon filter :yack: ... but the noise was still there and it's coming from this particular electrical thingie...

I traced the cables all the way down to a denso a/c blower control unit...as seen from the pic, there's 2 of these electrical bugs connected to the blower control, but only 1 is making the noise.

I pulled out the power connector, the noise is gone for good..but i'm in doubt whether this has any affect to any other related components.

A mechanic told me this is linked to the heater element (which I dont use at all)

Can anyone enlighten me on this? :duh:

Thanks for the insight mate.

but then again, would this have any effect on the other electrical parts esp the denso blower?

and what is the other secondary servo motor unit for? A/c control flap?

Many thanks in advance!
