How to Fix Fiesta Mk7 Interior Buzzing Noise

How to fix the interior buzzing noise on a mk7 fiesta.
This noise is located near your left knee on right hand drive cars, there is a climate control sensor that sits behind the vents that vibrates and constantly makes a loud BUZZING noise.
Genuine Ford Adaptor 1736143 - This part can be used to rapidly reduce the buzzing noise.

Doing this in 2024, the adaptor made no difference for me but thanks to this video, I can see and hear that it's the fan in the plug itself (which I have cleaned) that's making the noise. Will need to buy a replacement for that to fix the noise. Top tip, be careful when undoing the screws around the unit, one of mine popped out and fell down somewhere around the gearbox, still can't see it 😅

[@catbell6680]

Part number for the climate control temp sensor is H82NB

[@lolloprox]

Thanks for your video! I followed everything that you did and bought the rubber part from Ford. Now the noise is still present but much more bearable. Next time I'm going to change the temp sensor directly

[@mattyti6178]

Thanks for the video, goint to have a look at this on my car today.. Once question, what are the controls on that silver trim that you disconnected? mine doesnt have them, just a vent. Thanks

[@Derively]

I successfully fixed this issue, based on this video. Thanks a lot!

[@techclub8528]

Thanks for watching

[@millgate]

did it fully fix the issue for you? I found it still buzzed quite loud as soon as I put the sensor back in it's hole. It's almost silent until i put it back but the plastic just vibrates.

[@Derively]

@@millgate It fully made it silent for me. I never heared it after. Maybe it's not in the right position for you.

[@millgate]

​@@Derively really? Even the chap in the video said it doesn't go fully silent, maybe you didn't connect it to the power properly? :D I fiddled with it for ages and couldn't improve it

[@Stefano91ste]

Nice tutorial! Thanks

[@kayserbondor]

What are the two plugs for on the rear of the trim surrounding the a/c control module, are they to do with the narrow slots on the front.

[@lukelloyd7934]

Never seen one with a red dash. Nice.

[@bankay00]

Thanks for the video! Could you please tell me the référence of the sensor?

[@vratos]

Thank you SO much!

[@arslan4638]

Do i need to do all this to remove side plastics to connect flapper motor with controling arm ? I set heating to the HI position and something click inside and sometimes it start blowing hot air. Someone before me started working and disconnect controling arm and left it like that

[@stevo091]

Hi I have the same issue with my 2011 C Max. Buzzing noises from behind the climate control. And heater wouldn't come on. Had to keep banging the stereo with my shoes.. lol.. Then it works again. And it takes ages to hear up?. And advice would be great. Just brought it 1 month ago from a used car dealer Chelmsford. Cheers

Perfect👍 Problem solved😋

Does it battery drain if its buzzing

I fix it thank you

Muy buenas!...alguno sabe dónde puedo conseguir este repuesto en España?

[@Conradc187]

Hi Thanks for the video, I just wanted to ask if you had any issues with the heater not working as my 2009 1.6 Titanium also has that buzzing noise and the heater is not getting hot? Thanks in advance

[@techclub8528]

No heater works fine. Our aircon is broken tho but that's a different problem entirely.

[@Conradc187]

@@techclub8528 Thanks for the Help

[@christopheg.4935]

Merci 👍👍👍

[@osmangucuyener]

Thanks for the video, In 2012 model Fiesta, the air conditioner blows cold air in the LOW position, When I increase the degree, it starts blowing hot air, the part you changed in the video (indoor temperature sensor) is broken, could this be the reason?

[@user-zj3kt4ny4g]

Yes sure

[@morph667]

Actually you don't need to remove display, and radio. Only remove climate control and shifting gear cover...

[@Iam.SpiritMpumi]

Hi, I am too late but hopefully I can get an answer. Did you get the dash like that or did you have it customized? Please do a video of the fiesta interior

[@techclub8528]

Yeh come like it. It's a titanium spec

[@cryptoclaus7719]

Can you tell me where on ebay you found it, cant seen to track it down, nice job on fixing it

[@pookieluvva]

use the part no. and try Ford. I've just picked up an intermediate shaft for the steering column, and it was about £80 cheaper than every ebay listing I found.

[@techclub8528]

the little rubber adaptor i found on ebay to help reduce the noise was like £5. not sure where to find now as this was recorded a long time ago

[@charlie123arthur]

👍👍👍

[@techclub8528]

Thanks

[@hellyeah739]

Any links to part

[@Empirehog]

I've seen two separate Ford Fiesta's (one 09 and one 58 reg), both Titanium trim and both had the same noise coming from their centre console. Does anyone have the part number for the heater control module / sensor unit itself?

[@thomasbentley115]

Hey, I have this same issue. My battery also seems to be draining. Car is in working order. Do you think this issue is draining my battery?

[@abolfazlsaravani2214]

I have this sound but I also have heating problem, my heater never gets hot enough, it gets war a little but never hot

[@mattyti6178]

Hi, did you ever fix this? I bought a 58 titanium at the weekend and it makes the buzzing sound and dont get hot air also.

[@abolfazlsaravani2214]

@@mattyti6178 No It still makes this sound

[@abolfazlsaravani2214]

@@mattyti6178 see if you have enough coolant, fill it up to the maximum I have noticed that fiesta engine does not get that hot either so don't expect a great heater.

[@lucabutschkau5992]

Can U pls put the link from the tools in the Comments - need them asap :)

[@techclub8528]

i just used some plastic trim removal tools and some Torx Screw drivers

[@Cheesep321]

Helpful video but didn't work for me unfortunately. You can quite easily take the little fan module apart though and I just removed the fan rotor. Shouldn't affect the climate control performance but stops all vibration. The sensor still works, there's just no fan pulling air into it but I doubt that really matters

[@DavidZammit]

I was thinking of doing that, after I realised the fan seems to be held down magnetically... I ended up putting a drop of wd40 fluid in the fan and put it back on and it is much quieter.. not sure how much it will last like that before getting noisy again. Did your method work well months later? ie did you find the a/c still behave as normal with the sensor module missing the fan? Was thinking the surrounding air might end up being a little warmer but probably should work fine.

[@Cheesep321]

@@DavidZammit yep all functions okay but I must admit I barely use the automatic climate control anyway. It's easily reversible though

[@DK-jo3mi]

I just remove all the module, i think its only for automatic ac

[@HightLink]

why did the radio cover had to be removed? 🤦‍♂️

[@techclub8528]

Done this a long time ago but I think I took it off as I was not sure how to get to it. I left that bit out as I think it was not needed but didnt put it back on. maybe I left it off for some more room

[@HightLink]

@@techclub8528 I took it off ass seen in the video and broke the clips 🤣🤣🤦‍♂️. I have a small problem, maybe you know what the problem is. The car blows air in different position from what I ask it to do, for example... I want air to blow in the middle and the car blows at the feet, I choose feet and the car blows air to the windsheeld. If I manualy move the leaver to blow where I select, once I engine is turned off than on again, the air blows wrong again. Hope I make sense

[@techclub8528]

I'm sorry I'm really not an expert.

[@HightLink]

@@techclub8528 no wories, thx a lot for the answer

[@allans7932]

Better Bring To The Ford Car Service

[@techclub8528]

my car is second hand and out of warranty 09 plate. Not cheaper to go to a dealership, this cost me like £5 for the adaptor and like 10 minutes of time.

[@liamsandie]

The clip broke

[@Jambiswag]

I just shoved a pen in there and it stopped the noise

[@KicksDoe]

wait i found you here unexpected

[@2damaxmr2]

That tiny buzzing noise exists in a lot of cars. You just have to get used it.

[@techclub8528]

there is tiny buzzing and loud buzzing, at the beginning of this video it was loud. Tiny buzzing by the end
