What would cause the Servo motor to the air recirculation flap valve to emmit loud ticking every time I start my car? I have managed to prise the dash out on the near side enough for me to see the actuator arm, which seems to do its job ok, arms move, etc., but when the flap is opened to the fresh air position the motor continues to run - hence the ticking as the motor tries to drive it further. What should I check next? I don't rearly wish to take the whole dash out.

SOURCE: drop arm bushes

the hardest part is removing the bolts most times they are so rusted i just cut them out with a torch and replace them with the new bushings. the cost of these bushings is nominal however have you checked the struts as well? the clonking noise could be them as well. please rate this......thanks

SOURCE: Electronic vent control not working in Volvo S40

Hi,
I think here, by your description, that there might be something that has slipped inside the vent holes from outside. you can try to blow some compressed air through the vent holes at the bottom of the windscreen.
Otherwise you can try to look under the dash, activate the switch and see if you can locate from where the noise is coming and see if you can reach the mechanism that control the vent. Normally it must be moving free. Otherwise your local mechanic should be able to fix that ufor you.
Cheers.

SOURCE: Heather blows intermittent cold air

It sounds like you need to go to the shop. the blend doors control the air flow, heat, and distribution. There are about 6 to 7 motors in all. They most likely need to be recalibrated. There is also a possibility the Climate Control Module Software will need to be upgraded. There is a small chance that there is a bad blend door motor that is crashing the communication link between the motors and the module.

Either way it goes only the dealer, or mabey a very heavily invested independent shop.

Hope this helps.

Chev sets p2011 when cold. clear code and runs fine until next cold day. replaced position sensor. now sets code with every start. eracing code allows normal operation until nexe start.

You did not post the info on the make and model and year. This code means the air intake manifold has a set of flaps in the system that control the air turbulence when the engine is cold. The flaps are controlled by a servo motor and the motor can get very dirty and not work, the flaps can get dirty and not move correctly. This was not one of GM's better ideas. There are screws on the flaps that have come loose and fallen in the engine and caused major damage .

What and where is the servos

  • A servo is a mechanism, usually a motor of some sort, that drives another mechanism. On a passenger aeroplane, for example, the control surfaces are too difficult for the pilot to operate because there is so much wind pressure against them, so they use hydraulic servos to move the elevator, flaps etc.
  • On a car, the drive by wire throttle control is a servo, which is electronically controlled by the computer, depending on the throttle position under the driver's foot.
  • In effect, the power steering ram on a car is also a servo, which is powered by the p/s pump, and controlled by the valves in the steering column.
  • On a smaller scale, the air conditioner has servos that open and close the relevant air duct flaps when the dashboard controls are shifted to control the flow of air in the car. Please note that on older cars, and some new ones, these flaps are not controlled by servos but by cables.
  • The remote controlled central locking on a car has servos in the doors that open and close the door locks when the remote button is pressed. On some cars these door lock servos are small electric motors, on others they use vacuum operated pistons, also called servos.
  • Hope this answers your question!

What is the clicking noise that comes from my blower motor under the dash when I start my motor or shut the motor off? The clicking continues for a few seconds either way.

Sounds like your flap motor is trying to reset itself or the air recirculating valve is opening and shutting. You need to da a basic setting on your air con unit with a scanner

Ticking behind glovebox

Does it sound like the noise the turn signal makes? Does the noise change if you change the speed of the blower motor? Do all the function of the heater work (defrost, vent, floor, recirculate, fresh air, hot, cold)?

2005 chevy colorado I4 2.8 L when coming to a quick stop...truck wants to stall

I suspect that the power brake servo is faulty ,in the line to the servo unit is a non return valve so check this out first that its working ,then apply brakes stationary and see if their is a big hiss from the servo as this will allow air in the manifold causing it stall

Thumping rythmic noise from passenger side dash

Don't you just love it: thump, thump, thump, thump, pause, thump, thump...? I've found the best solution is to use compressed air as used in cleaning the keyboard of your laptop. Take a very thin (but strong) metal strip about 1/32" thick and gently place inside the edge of the recirculate button. VERY GENTLY depress the recirculate button just until the thumping stops. Apply just enough upwards pressure on the strip to hold the button in place. This creates enough of a gap for the air to blow behind the button. hold the can of air no more than one inch (1") away from the strip and aim directly to the left or right of the strip. Once you've cleaned from behind the button completely, that mother thumping (LOL) song will be no more.

Air conditioning fan makes loud noise the faster you ru it.

Concerning your broken vent -- this can be caused by a broken linkage or a malfunctioning servo motor as well. these vent have air ducts the sway back and forth to adjust the dual air flow function. if the servo o linkages are malfunctioning or not connected for some reason, it will not allow total control of the air flow and temperature range. Now, if you have a combination of a flow error and temperature error as well, thai can be caused by a combination of the two.

In this case, you will need to inspect the linkages as well as the servo motor function as well. in addition, i would test the air temp sensors for there operational value. they control the temp when you adjust the coll or hot function.

Concerning the Loud noise coming from the blower fan---

This issue can be caused by a misalignment within the blower housing or, it can also be caused by some minor damage within the motor itself, causing it to rotate in a erratic manner, in return, forcing it to rub against the housing itself. the best solution here is to extract this blower fan housing and inspect for lose fan propeller and motor stability. replace parts accordingly.

PLease rate and have a great day:)
