So short question:came home, drove a bit hard, 26 degrees outside...Celsius, and park the car in the garage, open the trunk to get my briefcase and then i hear a strange noise like some fan or some computer cooler comming from the left side of the trunk, near the storage compartment. The sound is quite there, and i was wondering what it might be? I know there is the amp for the sound system but what else could need a cooler or m i wrong and it's smth else?
No biggie...i was just curious.
Thanx.

From your description, it sounds like the cooling fan on the Logic7 amplifier. I hear mine quite often after giving the sound system a workout...

When you have something smelly in the trunk, the fan kicks in. When you fart in the car, the fan moves the smell to the trunk, and from the trunk (when you open it) the fans moves it out of the trunk. It's part of the interior comfort feature.

My fan runs all the time . . .
