Building a 70 Malibu drastic restomod using a 14 Camaro SS donor and I'm just now connecting (treading very carefully here, sure as hell don't want to be replacing any of the harnesses) the battery to the wiring harnesses now installed in the Malibu.

Here's a link to the top of page 4 of the build thread where I ask for some advice:

Have a question about a sound coming from the dash area when the battery is connected, even if the key is in the off position. I recognize that when you first connect the battery, the amp draw is greater for the first minute or so - just trying to understand what motor/device is running?

Many thanks,
Nick

Pull 1 fuse at a time, hook up the batt, sound there? Continue this test, until the device is found.

Trying to avoid that time consuming process as there are about 40+ fuses in the main box alone and some more in the rear.


Was hoping one of you gurus knows what device it is...


Many thanks Chuck...

Are you using the whole dash and everything from the Camaro? Could be just about anything, can you post a video? Blend door maybe not working right?

Tried a video and couldn't pick up the sound. What is a "blend door"?

Thanks, probably should have done that myself, but I thought it was a typo or a brain fart like I sometimes have. LOL

Could very well be that's the issue because the HVAC is torn apart and I'm sure the BCM is looking for something. Will have to find it before I continue because I can't have that running while I'm working on the lights, etc.
