What is this doohickey and why does it make the most annoying vibrating sound ever all the time?
What the heck is this thing?

IIRC, isn't that the sniffer for the auto temp control? I am old and forget sometimes.

asperator, provides temperature to computer. Replace if the noise is bothersom to you. Requred for automatic AC operation.

Pull that cover and clean the hair and dust off the fan blades. If it doesn't work, get another aspirator, 22834330. If it fails, your Auto AC won't work right.
it's the NSA wire tap inside your SUV
environmental sensor for the hvac to properly regulate the interior temperature. it has a small fan and a thermistor, the fan motor goes bad and makes the noise. the fan blows air over the thermistor and changes ohm's the ohm signal goes to the hvac, the hvac then adjusts the temp up or down to keep the temperature where you have it set.
a new replacement is about $25 online and is easily replaced by both unclipping it and reaching in from the side of the headliner.
just pull the side of the headliner down "carefully" just enough to reach inside

Not with inflation. There's one on ebay from a low mileage vehicle for $31 and another new one for $44.
$23 For a generic one on amazon, $39 on rock auto

RockAuto is the win. What you really have worry about is counterfeit parts from others. Use the discount code below for 5% off.

Yes it is! Can someone provide some guidance where to enter the code when checking out? Thanks all for the info!
It's on the last checkout pages where the box says "How did you hear about us" I think. Kind of weird how they have that setup IMHO.
Yea, just enter the code and hit ENTER and you will see the amount change and it will show the amount of discount.

Post up some pics of the one you took out in all of its barn find condition after being cooped up in the headliner for 20+ years.
I think it's safe to say this dude's account has been hacked.

This same thing happened on our sister forum. They were able to get a hold of the account owner and reset his password.
