Flapping sound in driver's footwell???
Does anyone know if there's a air flap that may break in the driver's footwell?
Upon start up there's a consistent flapping sound about every few seconds and then it goes away. It's actually more like a "thunk" and does it only one time then does it again. For some reason it eventually stops.
Unlike the clicking most folks refer to this is no a click and seems to be coming from right under the steering column.
Thanks!

Thanks.
I've checked out the stepper motor threads but thought this might be a little different because most refer to the stepper motor in the center of the dash.
This sound seems to be coming directly from the driver's footwell.
