THat little intake fan that everyone thinks is onstar... So how DO you fix it?

[ntxstallion]

I'll try air..

Think my air compressor is too much PSI?

Short, quick bursts should be ok. I wouldn't go to town on it.

Ha, I knew yesterday that if I searched here, I would find at least one thread.

I bought an 01 w/ 130k miles on it, and the previous owner first claimed to not hear anything.

Then, he heard it, but said, "oh, that's the OnStar speaker."

Anyways, if you pull the liner down, you can unplug the beast. Once you have the part in your hand, you'll probably notice grime on it. Spin it w/ your finger, and you'll hear it sound like a fan that is going bad.

Bend the little dohickey that's hitting the grime up about 1/4" and spin it again.

Abracadabra, that's all I had to do to mine. Nice and quiet again.

Whats the best spot to pull down the liner? By the door I'd assume?

I'm sure the "official" way is to pull the A-pillar off to give more flex, but all I did was stand with the door open on the driver's side, facing the interior (obviously, ), and pull the liner down, directly between myself and where the mesh screen cover is inside. Only needed about 2" gap between liner and roof.

Stuck a small flat head screw driver in to release the wiring... cake.
