HVAC "squeak" during start-up sequence, behind tach...
2023 F-Sport.
So when I first start the car and the dash gauges are going through their start-up sequence, I get a faint squeak sound coming from behind the tach (right when the "shooting stars" appear). I often get the same sound when I change the A/C settings from vent to non-vent, or when I sometimes shut off the A/C all-together. Because of that, I narrowed it down to something HVAC related and not gauge cluster related. Do we know what vent or device is behind the gauge cluster in relation to the HVAC system? It would be something that turns on or off everytime one starts the car, regardless of the settings.
Need info to share with the dealer, as they are usually lost or will say they didn't hear it.
Thank you.
