Strange Noises

warrenm · 11-30-2007, 07:14 PM

I have two strange noises in the Titan and am seeking help if known.
1) Ticking on drivers side...most noticeable when driving at interstate speeds.
2) Noise when I switch vent settings (i.e from defrost to upper vents).

Anyone know what these could be?

dont know about number 1 but if i understand you correctly number 2 should be the vents moving to switch the direction of airflow (meaning redirecting the air from the top dash vents (defrost) to the forward facing vents) Is the sound you hear like a whirrrr or woosh sound?

Well, the vent noise is from your vents switching off from outside air when defrost is on, and then redirecting the air flow.

As for the clicking, could be alot of things.
Do you have the chrome wheels>

No, it sounds like something hitting the console. It is nowhere near what I know as normal switching vents or fan speed sounds. It just started this a couple of days ago.

The vents/console noise has never been there in the past when using defrost. It also will make the noise when I go from the lower/upper setting to the upper setting as well.

I don't have the chrome wheels...powdercoated.
