Hi All,
I've stumbled upon a strange noise in my vehicle the past 1-2 months and I think it may be related to the radiator fan but I'm not entirely sure. Here's what I know:
I've stumbled upon a strange noise in my vehicle the past 1-2 months and I think it may be related to the radiator fan but I'm not entirely sure. Here's what I know:
- 1/17/21: The vehicle is off and the belt tensioner/everything else is no longer moving but the radiator fan still runs and there's this weird chirping noise. See video
- When driving the vehicle and I hear the chirping noise inside of the cabin, I turn off the AC and the noise seems to go away but comes back on whenever the AC is back on.
- The issue appears to be intermittent and most notable when it's extremely cold outside but goes away when the vehicle is warmed up
- I am not sure if it's related to my recent belt tensioner replacement but I don't think so as the vehicle was off when I recorded the video above.
- Could it be a bad fan bearing that might be worthy of replacing the radiator fan as a whole?
- Would I have to lubricate the fan bearings?
