    What is that Sound ?

    What is that sound(mechanical in nature, like a flap cycling open/close) I hear when just sitting in my Coupe?

    Car is not, has not been running/on and no key in the ignition.

    MY bad.......I thought this would be enough info. It's mechanical in nature, like a flap cycling open/close.
    Lasts about 3 seconds. Sounds like it's in the dash, thus the analogy a ventilation flap.

    What got me wondering if it is the/a flap opening and closing is that over the last few weeks, while sitting outside in the Florida heat and moisture, the interior side of the windows are coated in water. Truly a Greenhouse effect.

    As I understand it;

    Flaps do open when the car is first powered on. (can close at power off, to prevent dust entry)
    Fuel pumps will also prime
    ...

    I read that the key is not in the ignition, but do you have Comfort Access?
