Squeak from vents ...
Hey guys,
Had a quick question... I seem to hear a squeaking noise (sounds like churping) coming from my vents when i either turn the ac on or the heater... Would anyone have any suggestions? My car is a 06 CLS 500 designo with about 65k miles.
Thanks in advance...

Occasionally, I have the same noise. You can temporarily eliminate the noise by changing the speed of the fan manually. If it becomes constant and excessive, I'd expect a replacement under warranty.

Thanks
Daymn, I was hoping a tweety bird was stuck in there... I guess eventually the noise will get worse (I assume) then will take it to the dealership, I have an extended warranty that they give me a hard time everytime i take my benzito in to the dealership.
thanks

CORRECTION & UPDATE
IN FACT: Motor can be replaced by removing the panel behind the glove box. Original part number is 2308200214 (Behr, $312), but part number 2118300908 also works and is available from Behr for around $200 or from TYC for around $155. Figure an hour of labor.

Also had this problem. Fixed it by removing the blower motor from the passenger footwell (very simple procedure). I shook out the carbon deposits, blew out any stubborn dirt with an airgun, and then lubricated the visible moving bits with a silicone lubricant. Replaced it, and the squeak is gone.
Do a search on the forum for the blower motor removal steps :-)

The blower motor is removed by:
Super easy to do. Had mine out, cleaned and fitted back in the car in about an hour.
