No varmint. Been doing this for 6 months. Always does it when you first start the engine, if you don't turn the a/c to max, it will stop in a few minutes.

Either the hvac blend door aor temp door or something in the blower wheel. Un plug just the blower motor and see if you still hear it if you do start checking blend doors

I have a 2001 impala and when I have the heater on it only works on defrost, when I move the selector to a different position it does not change. Any ideas what this might be?

Hello
Thanks for the donation

It sounds like you may have a vacuum leak. Check under the hood for a disconnected or damaged vacuum line. The controls are vacuum operated and if the vacuum supply is cut off the system defaults to defroster only. Some vacuum lines may also be located inside of dash.

Hope this helps.
Thanks for using 2carpros. Com!

If no vacuum leak is present and the vacuum controlled motors in dash are operating, test the control switch itself. Ensure it is getting power and working properly as you switch through the speed settings.
