Still discovering all the things wrong in my new-to-me 2016, and one of the first I noticed was a squeaking or squealing sound. It's VERY faint, and VERY high pitched, so you may not even be able to hear it in this video unless you have very good hearing. It's a rapid, high pitched sound and again, unless you know what to listen for, probably not audible.

It sounds like it is coming from the dash behind the steering wheel, and when I turn the climate control off or crank it up, the sound goes away. So I assume it's blower motor related, but after looking through the forums and YouTube, that's definitely not a job I want to tackle if I don't have to.

Assuming it is related to the blower motor, is there anything I can do like oil it without taking the thing out? And if it could be something else, any ideas what I should look at?

Other than normal squeaks/rattles in the cold, this is the biggest one I have left...

Might be the auto climate fan failing or in need of a cleaning, it’s right under the push start. It sits right about where you’re hearing the noise.

Oh interesting... I'll take a look!
