Caulkhead Question About Odd Noise When Door Opened

Caulkhead · 24th July 2015, 20:44

When I open a door a motor switches on?? Only got car yesterday, seems to run well, but concerned about this. It runs for 30 secs or so.

Is it when you open the door or turn the ignition off? There is a motor on the heater system that can be heard moving when turning the ignition off

It is when I open a door, or use the remote unlocking

No, the motor noise is under the bonnet on left side of engine, looking towards front from inside.

Fuel burning heater?

Is there something needing to be done to the FBH?

Some good suggestions already, but I've expanded your thread title to better illustrate the subject matter, this may attract more replies

Thanks for this. The noise I am hearing suggests that something is wrong?? What could be causing the motor to start, and what needs to be done to solve the problem. As mentioned, car is running fine, so I could just ignore this and enjoy the car. Thanks for any suggestions.
