Well when i have the heat/cool on setting 1,i get a little annoying noise coming from the passanger sides glove compartment area.I guess there is a fan around there.It doesnt make it when u raise the setting to 2,3,4,5,only on 1..Is there anyway to get to the fan and see if something might be stuck in there?I took off the glove compartment,but didnt see anything behind it,just the in-cabin air filter.2005 Cobalt SS/SC

 

The only way to get the fan out is to cut it out with a razor blade or exacto-knife. I just replaced one under warrenty last week. It actually really sucks. I wouldn't recommend trying it unless you are prepared to buy a new fan kit.

 

danm thats gay..my warranty expired,and the fan crap is annoying.

 

i have that same fan noise on the 1 setting, but then again i have a saturn so it's expected

 

mine's starting to make some noise as well, i guess its just another cabin noise to live with

 

Yeah both of my balts do it on speed1, it is annoying

 

im having the same problem 2, except mine does it on 2 also. my warrentee is expired to

 

My fan does this also, worse when the heat is on. I'm still under warranty so I guess I need to have it looked at.

 

Well this seems to be a common problem, maby this should be a GM recall/ service bulltin??

 

Damn you think they would have been able to fix that by now. I've got an 05 and had that problem. When I took it in for warranty work they knew exactly what I was talking about.

 

ya my 08 sport has that stupid noise at 1 too

 

mine is an 05 as well,and it started makin the noise little past christmas

 

Ha, spoke before I knew all the facts. I hope mine don't go out again....

 

ya i have 06 and a noise like that just started on mine too. Mine is on settings 1 and 2 annoys the **** out of me whenever i dont have radio on

 

One way to prevent premature fan bearing failure is to check/clean/replace your cabin air filter. If it's not white, it's dirty.

 

mine is black,lol and still is black...never bothered changin it

 

i have the same noise, in my 04 saturn, I just live with it

 

Been hearing this noise for the past week. Though I was the only one, then I see this thread. Its defiantly annoying but im too damn lazy to go to the dealer just for this. Ill probaly wait.

 

put some dynamat behind the glove box, that should quiet that sucker for ya....

 

Where is the filter located at?

 

pop open ur glove box,take the hinges off from both sides,and behind it will be a rectangular box that unclicks

 

I have the same problem. When it is cold and I start my car with the defrost on the fan sounds like it is going to implode. I have had it checked out once and they said there is nothing they can do. I have an appointment this Friday to get that and a couple other issues looked at.

 

They have replaced my fan 3 times now and the noise is still there. I would suggest that you just get used to it or turn the radio up louder... LOL

 

I've got an 06 and have the same problem.

 

Same prob!
