Odd sound coming from climate control
Hi CL,
Recently I've noticed a weird sound coming from (I believe) the climate control area when the car is on or in accessory mode. It seems to be more prevalent when the car is cold. It will eventually stop after a minute most of the time, but it's a bit bothersome. After powering off, the sound continues for a good 15-30 seconds. Additionally, there are times when I intermittently hear a noise thats similar to opening a creaky door that's likely related. Maybe it's normal but I don't recall it doing this before. Thanks in advance!

Long shot but could it be the fan for the cabin temp sensor? (It sucks in air to find what the temperature in the car is)
Do you have any CDs inserted?
It could also be the blower fan or a blend door servo in the climate box behind the dash, it's pretty far back in there.
