You sir, are a star!! It was indeed the culprit. If I pushed it back in just enough to connect I could quite clearly hear the noise coming from the stereo - but as soon as I pushed it back iin fully, then sound then seemed like it was coming from the blower. I gues the vibrations or something was transferring or amplifying the noise. Any way thanks all for the excellent help.

Cheers!

Hi all thanks for the many respones! Was hoping to get another look today, but work got in the way and no garage, so hopefully tomorrow. Regarding history, My dad bought is sometime around early 2K, and was the 2nd owner. When he died in 2017 I basically inherited it. So as far as aftermarket goes it should be pretty standard. Also it is a very basic base model - not even power steering or central locking. My old man was very antitech in his vehicles. I have dones a basic look around for excess damp but I can't see anything obvious, and with the miles it has driven it should have hopefully dried out - buyt the problem remains. Someone asked if it has a tape player - and the answer is yes it does! However it seems fairly well secured and some distance below the area the noise is seems to come from. The thing that is making this so annoying is the fact that even with the fuses and relays out the issue is persisting, and yet everything works perfectly - all wipers, washed, lights, blowers etc work just fine. Thanks to those images posted if work allows tomorrow I will try and get the blower opened and have a good look around in side. Thanks for the ideas so far, Rob

Hi all. I have a felicia 1998 1.3mpi with an annoying problem just started. It sounds like it may be the blower/heater, and it is running even with the ignition off and no key in. The only way to stop it is to disconnect the battery. I have looked around the guides section but nothing mentions this issue. I have attached a vid of the sound and where it appears to be coming from as it is only audible from within the car. So far I have pulled the all the fuses, the relays and disconnected two wiring blocks that seem to connect to what I assume is the blower (see image) - yet the problem persists! Changing the settings on the blower controls seem to make no differance either. Only disconnecting the batt stops it. Might be worth mentioning I actually fitted a new battery saturday, and the problem did seem to stop - however when I returned to go out a few hours later the problem was back and it was humming away again and has not stopped since. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I'm a bit of duffer when electronics are involved. Apologies if this is the wrong section, if so could a mod please move it? fansund.mp4

Jusst saying howdy. Felicia 1.3mpi 1998
