1. Searched the forum for this well known noise or even basic googling: https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17147 http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16534 2. Read the owners manual As someone else said there's maintenance interval info that even helps you from getting scammed at the dealership as well. It's only a logical idea to page through the owners manual when you buy a brand new vehicle.

Now back to the regularly scheduled posting about buzzing test things in the undercarriage and such. I feel the solution is to just turn it on every so often so it has no time to decide to test itself. Problem solved. |

Then there's reading the owners manual cover to cover (which I did) 4 years ago and forgetting 3/4's of it...
I don't recall this "issue" even with the 500 questions asked about it. |

Just curious. When you rent a car do you read the owners manual from cover to cover? Or do you adjust the seat and the mirrors and take off on your merry way? |

Second, I rent a lot of cars, and while I don't read the manual, I often do consult it (if it's included in the car, which sometimes it isn't) if there's a feature I want to disable or the car does something unexpected. To be fair, that note was in an obscure location in the older owners' manuals, so you might even read it cover to cover and miss it. Not sure where it is in the newer ones. What has always puzzled me instead is why so many people who ask about it think something is wrong with their cars. If I hear a clunk or a scraping sound, yeah, maybe I'll wonder if everything is all right. But the sound of an electric motor running is not usually the sound that something is broken. "OMG my tank is leaking, and the gasoline built itself a motor to help itself escape!" I was working in a conference room yesterday where we could hear the elevator motors coming on and off in the machine room across the hall, and nobody's first thought was to summon building maintenance. |

If not, I don't care because I don't own the car. As long as I return it in the same condition that I took delivery of it, I am not responsible for any mechanical issues. That's the whole point of a rental. Anyhow, read the manual or don't read the manual. The same questions will always come up from the same folks in the future, and the same answers will be provided... |
