strange noises when A/C and heater is played with

darkseed · 01-23-2010, 11:19 AM

When ever I turn off and on my a/c and heater, and while its on... makes a very strange noise that seems to be coming from the bottom of my car.

My recent install was hardwiring my escort radar detector to my rear view mirror.
Also, there has been ALOT of rain in SoCal, driving in about 3-6 inches of water sometimes.

Any clues?

NO clue, but what type of noise? Rubbing, grinding, etc.

I would not be driving the Z in about 6 inches of water.

You would have to probably put the car on a lift to see if anything got stuck while you drove in the water.

Hope you find the problem, if not you would have to take it to the stealership.

Maybe you've got an issue with the engine cover (?)

Take it to the local dealer, Might just be the belt, hard to tell without actually looking at in person..

Your exhaust has nothing to do with your current problem..
