[V8] Re: Whine...was "visitation"

[Michael Larosa Jr]

Roger,


I'm grasping at straws here.... but....

On the dashboard above the radio/glovebox there is alittle
matchbook size grill.... this is a temp sensor for the ac/heat
controls...

There is a fan in there that sucks in air to measure it's temp...  
this thing sometimes squeaks like hell...


if you shut off the ac/heat it stops the fan...

give it a shot..
