Squeeling in dash while cornering - a/c associated? 850

Hi everyone. :) When driving just now a strange and quite loud noise has started up somewhere in the centre of the dash while turning corners.

Seems to be coming somewhere near or out of the vents in the centre dash. The a/c was on and this would appear at this stage to be related to the problem. ONLY happening whilst in the turn.

Anyone else experienced this or know what this problem may be?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Vaughn.

It's likely the blower fan. I have the same thing in both my 740 and 850. Fine when driving straight but when I turn they squeal. I know that there's a GM replacement that will work in the 740 but don't know about the 850. FCPGroton.com has a replacement motor for around $80.

Sorry, but I haven't investigated how difficult the blower motor is to replace so can't offer encouragement there.

Good luck,
