When it gets really cold (-10F or colder today it was -37F)outside sometimes I get a really loud screeching noise coming from behind the dash. I don't know why but it seems like it is sort of related to speed. It won't do it when I am going slow but once I speed up to say 25mph+ it starts to do it, but then goes away when I slow down to less than 25. It sounds like it is coming from behind the instrument cluster, but I am not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated on this issue.
Thank You,
Jordan
Forgot to mention, that it does not seem like the climate control is causing it because I turn it off and it does not stop.
my 190e did that last winter. I ended up just waiting for a dry day last summer and sealed up the cluster with silicone ruber to keep the moisture out of there. Hasnt done ne thing this winter
OMG!!! This happened to me this morning!! It was really cold outside and I was driving at...lets say 40km/h, so I decide to speed up like at 50km/h and I hear this loud noise coming from behind the dash like you said... I was like what the **** is that so I slow down and it stopped. It never did it again so I guess its not that big a problem.
For sure it has to do with the cold cos it was like -25c outside
I agree with Ivan. For a twenty year old car, a couple of odd noises are not bad. Yeah I would go ahead and ignore it till it warms up. I found that the black silicone rubber sealant works well in these old cars.
Happened to me a few times, too. Just gets louder when you're at 100 and stops when I drop below 40kmh. Happened in more than just cold weather too though. Could it be an alarm of some kind?
people its the ODOMETER...........why u asked? well, mine did that years ago and IIRC, my odometer got stocked. i paid $57 to fix it. so everyone check your odometer and see if its still working. just my .02
Screeching noise happened to me too. -5 Fahrenheit. When I pushed the trip meter reset, the screech lessened. It finally quit on its own, only to leave the right gauge light and the left turn indicator out. They both worked fine before this.
Any suggestions?
