    Anybody With 1996 C280 quick Question

    There is a Buzzing sound comming from the overhead console
    where the lights are i dont have sunroof so there isn't really and
    swithes there besides the one for the lights.

    I looked up there and it seems that there is a small Fan buzzing.

    1) How do i turn this off?
    2) What is it for?
    ( Off Subject )
    It Seems i dont have any overdrive.
    3) Is the switches hidden somewhere?

    I would think having the overdrive will save more
    gas wouldn't it?

    Sorry i'm still trying to get to know the car and its not in the Owners manual.


    thank you

    I believe the small fan you are refering to is the aspirator blower motor.. for climate control if im not mistaken. there may be some dirt build up or something causing it to make a noise.. try blowing it out.. or you may need a new one.
    to turn it off.. remove the dome lamp assembly and unplug it.

    Thank you Slammed_C, I Will try to blow thru it. If it doesnt work
    i will unplug it, its kinda crazy that theres no button somewhere to just turn it off.

    Thanks
