Fluttering Sound from Heater Fan Motor
Took my 2016 2SS Convertible in for its first oil change today. I told them about a fluttering sound in the fan motor. Sounds like there is a leaf inside. It comes and goes. They say they called GM about it and its a known issue with no fix. I see nothing on this forum about it. Any Suggestions or comments??

I have the same problem but it only happens when the heater fan is blowing hard, otherwise when at a lower fan speed its not a problem. I'm not worried about it, really, as I hardly even need the heater where I live.

Is it possible you are hearing a stepper motor which controls a damper? There is no way a "flapping" sound from a squirrel cage blower is normal. And typically it is hard to get leaves in these things any more. There is usually a filter where the air is drawn in.
http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=441726 You might be able to remove the filter and feel around in there for paper or something else that entered. I think something from the assembly process is much more likely than leaves. |

I just noticed this issue for the first time. My heater never seems to blow on high, but I had windows open and full fan on.. flap flap flap flap.. sounds like the plastic or rubber flapper that diverts air up/down etc is being blown around forcefully. If I back the fan off a bit it goes away.
So, no fix? I'm sure its going to be a pita dash removal fix! Not looking forward to that.

NOTE: You don't need to remove the console to change the shift knob. The bezel pops off. There is a youtube video for that. |
