    I just leased my Prius C on Saturday and I was wondering if the sound I hear from the climate control is normal. The sales person said it is the sound of the electric engine, but after leaving with it I now know it is only on when I have the heat or a/c on. It is like a clicking motor noise.

    Thanks

  3. It shouldn't click...the fan should be totally smooth. I would have that checked out.

    Maybe debris fell into the air intake and something is in the fan.

    Needs. To be checked. This is not normal.
