    Hello Everybody. Last night on the way home from dinner I noticed some static-like noise that appears to be coming from behind the passenger side vent. I can only hear it if I am going faster than 30 miles per hour. I checked and it is occurring when I have the heater on and off. Do you think it's just some debris in the vents or something else could be up? Please let me know your thoughts.

    Thanks!

    Mark

    Most likely debris. Remove the bottom glove box you have access to the cabin air filter. Remove the filter and you'll hopefully see the debris inside the fan. You'll probably need a new filter too
