Default 03 RX300 Noise under dash

I just bought my 03 RX300, after driving it off the lot I noticed a squeaking noise coming from under the passenger side dash. Can't tell exactly where it is coming from. Even if I stop the car and put it in park the noise is still there. It is just load enough to bug the ****** out of you. Anybody else have this annoying little squeak? Please Help!

See if it goes away when you turn off the HVAC. Probably one of the servos for the system.

Ought to be quite a quick release panel under that side of the dash, take it off and look around. But yes, probably just a servo. You should've heard my BMW535i. Sounds coming from behind the dash would've prepared you for
a landing from outer space.

I was just thinking the same thing. My old e36 M3 was the stiffest noisiest thing I've ever driven. But it was also one of the most fun I've ever driven, so I dealt with it haha

BMW made their name with those M3,s. Sometimes think the 90's was a sort of highpoint for BMW. Their car's had
real BMW DNA then.
