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

oh, that isn't OnStar? haha. learn something new every day.

i pushed mine up into the headliner and blocked it off because water was somehow leaking into my headliner then when i would drive, all the sudden water would pour down onto me and scare the hell out of me. i kind of forgot about it after that haha. i'll add that to the list of things to fix i guess

I am actually in the hunt for an aspirator for my 03' Tahoe. You guys know of any reputable companies that sell them before I attempt the dealer. Thanks

I saw them on amazon for $20 or so. I also have to replace mine too, I just haven't done it yet.

Good luck!

just ran across this thread, i always thought it was onstar too. but considering mine was the rear one... hmmm, wtf would there be an onstar mic in the cargo area??? unfortunately the rear one is like 5 feet from the edge of the headliner. wouldnt suprise me if the whole thing has to come down

Dangit. Was going to replace mine the other day while I had the headliner down. Oh well...

Great thread! That noise (sounds like a fan running) was driving me crazy! My rear is the one that is real loud the front I can barely hear. So, just so I understand you can clean these and they will quite? Or should I just replace both? Thanks!

First try cleaning it with compressed air. If that doesn't work then replace, imo.

Before I replaced mine I tried cleaning it a few times. cleaning is only a temporary fix. Your best bet is to just get a new one. I got to mine by pulling the headliner down in the middle of the driver's door and then just pushed it back up when I was done.
