I have heard this small speaker looking item above the driver's head is an Onstar speaker and also have heard it is a sensor for the auto climate control system.

1-Which is it?
2-I do NOT have Onstar, but do have the auto climate control. A few times, I have heard a vibrating/static kind of noise from it. I thought it was a vibration from the left side of the dash, but I turned off the radio and stopped and could put my hand of this thing and it stopped the noise. What is the source of this noise?

Thanks

Good to know, I thought it was a microphone hooked direct to gm warranty department, guess I can take the duct tape off now.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif

What is the source of the noise coming from it? Should I get the dealer to check it for malfunction?

I've heard of cases where the fan or whatever is in there goes bad and is fixed by a trip to the dealer.

I have replaced quite a few of these for a rattle,buzzing sound.I think it is from lint building up on the fan blades causing it to be out of balance.

<font color="blue">Why is there just one on the drivers side, shouldn't there be one on the passenger side having the dual climate control? http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Ermm.gif </font>
