Chirping Fan

[rickthompson78]

Would your fan chirp while idling or parked, justed driving or all the time?! Just today I started hearing a chirp (interior), but it doesn't do it while parked or idling. I've only had the 2001 Discovery 3 days...and I'm worried it's something serious.

Thanks!

Welcome to the site!

If the chirping sound is coming from the blower motor, its not a big deal mechanically speaking. It might test your sanity though! A blower motor chirp will almost always be directly related to fan speed - sometimes it will only chirp on the lowest setting, but it can occur 100% of the time the fan is on. The easiest way to determine if the fan is the cause of your chirp is to turn off the HVAC system & listen for the sound (or lack of)!

Also, to be clear - your talking about a 2001 Discovery & while the symptoms are the same, this is the LR3 section. Your question would be more accurately answered in the Discovery area. I'll move it for you.
