Sound inside dash when I turn off the car.

There is a sound inside the what appears to be the center of the dash when I turn the car off and before I pull the key out.

 

Sounds like a vent struggling to close or something.

 

My AC is on and set to recirculate if that helps.

Does not sound like a fan.

 

So here is how it happens. I turn the key off an he motor goes quite, but before pulling the key out of the ignition. I notice a struggling small motor sound, like something trying to close a vent. The AC is on at cut off, and on recirculate.

 

Is there a vent that closes automatically when you turn the car off and would make this noise?

Mine started doing this recently as well. Blower fan is clean (I pulled it to check)

 

It doesn't make the sound when changing modes while in operation and I don't recall any of the mode doors or air mixers moving after shut-off before.

 

Hmm....

Rockford: doesn't happen until I turn the key to the OFF position before taking the key out.

 

It's like a vent door returning to it's original position and then the noise stops. Like I said, this just started and sounds like a small electric motor struggling to close a vent door or something.

LOL this is the third thread on this subject. It is the air vent actuator.

 

Which one?

 

I seriously doubt it. Mine doesn't make the noises when I scroll through the settings. Recirc/fresh, temp adjust, air direction mode - all work fine and without noise. It's ONLY when the car is shut off that it makes the noise.
