Ok I am working on getting my license back so my wife drives for the moment and I notice (while chillin like a villain in my passenger seat) that the computer (PCM/ECM/I dont really know what it is) underneath the glovebox makes high pitches squeaking noises... hard to explain really, kinda like alternator whine. It is constant, and I dont think it changes with rpms. I could check though. If you all think it isn't normal I could probably get a sound clip too. I'll have to see if this laptop has a microphone in it though, or just a microphone jack.

oh yeah car is an 03 ls sport cavy 4 door. 47 thousand miles.

I dunno, I think it has been there ever since I got the car at 30,000 but I aint shure.

thanks in advance!

booooooooo, still no responses?

The PCM/ECM/computer/whatever-you-want-to-call-it should be in the engine bay, on a bracket on the passenger strut tower.

The only thing I know of that should be under the glove box is the relay for the power locks... behind the plastic trim panel on the A-pillar. Unless you're referring to part of the blower assembly...

hrmmm... Maybe I should pull out whatever it is in there.

maybe someone is tracking me.....

j/k, but is there really nothing else underneath the glovebox other than the plastic for ventilation?

The heater box is there. No computer. The only computer box anywhere near there is the ABS computer, which is between the center console and the firewall (kind of under your radio)
There is a blower motor right behind there. Shut all of your heat and AC off and see if the noise stops.

okie, thanks for your help guys, i guess I will play operation this weekend and see if I can figure out where the noise is coming from. I think I might just be getting a relfection of the sound down there. Even with the blower off it still makes the noise, so I will let you guys know what it turns out to be.
