What does this thing do?

[Cincinnati Scott]

Ok guys (and gals), what does that little "fan" thingy do that's attached to the ash tray assembly? Mine rattles and sounds like an egg timer before it goes off. What's it there for?

I'm just wondering if I disconnect it if I'll be missing something. Thanks,

Scott

Go to the "What's that Noise?" section of the FAQ, and scroll down to the caption that says, "What's That Buzzing Sound From The Console?".

Thanks! That's perfect.

There are also a bunch of threads discussing the subject. I know a lot of people are going to scream and yell but just take a can of pressurized air with a little red straw and fire a few blasts into the slits. Should solve the problem.

Not always. I tried that and it didn't change a thing. But for the couple of bucks it costs, it's worth trying.

I really doubt the blast of air will do anything.

I took it out and cleaned it. Clogged with lint.

If the compressed air doesn't work and you need to get to the unit make sure you know how to correctly remove the center console. Doing it incorrectly will scratch the top of the piece where it meets the A/C vents and you will be very pissed off.

Do a search and you find threads that show the correct method for removal. You need to be very careful with that top end.

You were lucky. Mine had not only lint but wads of dog hair, pieces of insects, bits of food and a few pubic hairs for good measure. Have no idea how they got in there! :biggrin:

We all know how the pubes got in there, but dog hair? I thought you and Yogi kept the kinky stuff to the bedroom.

I knew I shouldn't have lent to the car to you and Armando for your first date!

At least you didn't have any of those pesky zymes!

I was in the local auto accessory boutique last night and got perilously close to the Zymol display. I jumped into Charlotte and sprayed my stiches with Lysol just in case. Those little bastards can be hazardous to your health.
