'Squeel' coming from fusebox! (w/ recording)

[Matty86]

ronsvalver came round last night and we found at the squeel in MKR is coming from the fusebox! knew the gearbox felt too good for it to be on its way out!

it's a squeel that changed based on revs (resonating)

I've taken all the relays out except for the wiper relay, cause I don't know where it is :(



thats what it sounds like

[MicKPM]

Sorry but LMGDAO - it sounds like one of those party streamer things :P

Have you got your head behind the dash with a torch whilst someone revs it to see if there's anything obvious?

It's a very strange noise though

[Matty86]

ive tried myself, but cannot see anything


really don't want to start taking the dash apart

[MicKPM]

You've not got one of those eBay electric superchargers fitted do you :P

It sounds like air resonating to me - Can you feel anything from the heater matrix assembly when it's making the noise... does the dash feel loose and has it been removed recently?

[Matty86]

Not tried the heater matrix - can u reach it without taking the dash apart?


Dash is fine, hasnt been taken apart (ever I think? doesnt even rattle!)

[drsmith1979]

doesnt even rattle - well we all know now you are lying haha

[Matty86]

it doesnt!


my other one rattles like a bastard, but this one is brilliant!

[MicKPM]

I don't think you'll be able to get your hands to the matrix itself as it's in the blower box assembly but if the matrix is at fault you should be able to feel the pipes vibrating as the noise occurs.

Has anything been done to the car prior to the noise occuring?

[wavy]

leave it as it is
iys like a party in your car lol

LMFAO thats just a stupid noise

[geesus]

lmao that noise is hilarious!!

my guess (and it is a guess) is that the heater pipework that runs behind the dash and to the passenger vent has a small hole/split in it

only because i cant think of anything else that would cause it
