Re: I give up....

I'm Sorry for taking so long to get involved here. I am pkuevor's boyfriend/mechanic. Initially, we both thought that the noise was emanating from the dash, so my first assumption was that it was the blower. But the noise appears solely as a function of vehicle speed, NOT blower speed, vehicle direc...
