CLEANING THE AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (ACC) SENSOR FAN IN THE NG900 AND 9-3

The ACC sensor fan is located behind the 'bulls-eye' grill next to the right seat heater button. It is a small fan that draws air in through the 'bulls-eye' grill and across a temperature sensor. This allows the ACC to accurately monitor the temperature in the vehicle. The fan will run for a while even after the ignition is turned off. The fan can get dirty or dry of lubricant causing it to make a ticking noise.
The ACC sensor fan assembly can be accessed by removing the ACC unit. Use a thin, flat object like a credit card or putty knife along the edges of the ACC unit to remove it. The ACC sensor fan assembly simply snaps in behind the 'bulls-eye' grill. There is a foam rubber gasket between the grill and the ACC fan assembly sensor to take up any play.
Carefully remove the ACC fan sensor assembly, unplugging the wire harness. Note which side of the fan assembly is in the top position. Also, keep track of the foam rubber gasket.
Using a paintbrush or such, gently clean the fan. A can of compressed air like that used to clean computer keyboards or cameras also works well.
Apply a little oil or synthetic grease to the fan shaft at the points where it contacts the supporting/bearing surfaces and at the very end of the shaft.
Re-assemble the ACC fan sensor assembly and reinstall. Do not forget the foam rubber gasket and the wiring harness. Some BB users have reported better results if the ACC sensor fan assembly is re-installed upside down from the original position. I suppose this may help equalize the wear on the bearing/support points.
Turn the ignition to the on position and listen carefully to the fan. Make sure it moves freely and that the fan is no longer making any ticking noise.
Re-install the center console cover or ACC unit.
