When I start my Trailblazer the first time in the morning, it makes a sound like a fan rubbing (like in the old days) then it sounds like a compresser is kicking in and the sounds stops. It doesn't do it again unless it has been several hours, like 8 or so. There are no other problems apparent.

Check the belt tensioner to see if it's weak or worn. See post below. The compressor sound may be the secondary air pump kicking in. If so, that's normal on a cold start
Diagnose belt tensioner

SOURCE: 2004 chevy trailblazer ext. Clicking noise coming

Did you recently replace or disconnect the battery? Common problem is for the airflow actuators to go out and make that clicking sound in the rear when the battery is changed or disconnected.

SOURCE: sometimes when i go to

You are probably experiencing a failing starter relay. The contacts begin to corrode from the current drawn when starting the car. This causes poor conduction and the clicking you hear. Eventually, it will stop working altogether. The starter relay was added as a recall item to prevent the same thing from happening to the ignition switch (which it did in vehicles before the recall). The starer relay can be found in the very fromt of the engine compartment, just to the left of the battery, mounted on the back side of the radiator crossmember.

SOURCE: I have a 2004 chevy trailblazer ext and every time we start the vehicle there is a tap, tap, tap sound that come from the back right panel.

Sounds like there is a broken rear HVAC actuator for the rear HVAC. There should be two of them. One for the mode, one for heat / a/c control. Pull the trim panels in the rear and when it's making noise feel the actuators. You should be able to feel the one that is making the noise. The next step woul be to remove it and make sure the door it controls moves freely. It it doesn't you have bigger problem. If it does replace the actuator and you should be good as new. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. Thank you for using FixYa.com!

Fan clutch on trailblazer

Most bad bearings don't make a noticeable noise until they are operated at a higher rpm. Probably why when you unplug it you don't hear it and then when you plug it back in and the fan clutch engages you hear it again

What makes my 2001 chevy silverado airconditioning make a hissing sound when my air is on

Check the bearing in the end of the blower motor. They go bad and make a noise and over time will start rubbing and squealing like crazy.

Possible AC fan rubbing 95 olds cutlass ciera

the next time it does this, locate heater blower motor and either give it a tap or grab a hold of it and see if it changes sound or goes away altogether. it could be squerl cage on heater fan maybe rubbing on heater box, or heater motor could be on its way out. if nothing happens when you do this at least you can elimenate that. it going away when you apply the break could just be happenstance, as heater motors start with little noise that last short time and progressely get worse over time. it also could be speedo cable, the cable itself runs inside a flexable tube, witch runs from speedo head to transmission and there is lubercant inside this tube and they can go bad, unless needle on speedo jumps around i dought its that. also i'am no expert, i just went to the school of hard knocks. hope something here will help. OLD SCHOOL.
