My TA has been making a squeaking noise every time I turn off my car. People that hear it think that it is my fan. Even when my car is on and running I can hear this weird noise and when I turn off the A/C it stops but even if my A/C is on or not every time I turn off my car though it a loud squeaking that you can hear as it slows down until it stops, that's why everyone says it is the fan. What do I do to find out and stop the noice, has anyone had this problem with their car. Please Let Me know! Thanks

Are you talking about the blower motor/fan inside the car? Mine was making noise, unplugged the motor, removed 3 screws and pulled it out - found small leaves in the box. If it's a bad bearing or something making the noise at least it's easy to replace.

Idler pulley?

If it was the HVAC system you could hear it in the car?

Does it sounds like its outside of inside?

From the way you say fan it sounds like the outside.

It is outside the car

They say it might be the electric fan on the radiator, I really don't know! I'm a girl so I feel if I was to take it to someone that they'll start telling me a bunch of s**t that it is wrong with it but not it's really not! They'll take advantage another words. Thanks for the help.

Start the car while it has been sitting for 30 minutes. With the AC off. This way it will run with the cooling fan off. Then, get out of the car and see if you can hear a squeak. If it speaks while being cold (fan off) then it is the idler pulley since the fan isn't on yet.

If you can't hear it, then let it warm up for 15 minutes and turn on the AC. That will make the fan come on. You can hear the fan when you are outside of the vehicle. If it sqeaks when the fan comes on then I would say it is worth looking into.

The idler pully isn't as big of a deal but you should get it replaced sometime....
