a/c control noise even when the car is turned off
 
I have an horribile (tick-tick) fan noise coming from the A/C control panel of my '05 X5 E53.
The noise begin when I unlock the car and open the door and never ends
(actually I think it ends after some minutes once the car is locked again)
In another forum I've been told it may be the inside temperature sensor fan which is dirty and needs to be cleaned or replaced.
Does anybody know how to unscrew the panel and reach such a fan ?
If it is simple DIY task I'de like to do it myself (unsure about warranty for such parts)
Thanks in advance!
Nico.

Nico,
Had the same noise on my 05 X5d. Was very irritating and started to drive me mad. Ended up tapping the lefthand side of the panel with a finger knuckle and it went away. Haven't heard it again.

Just blow in the small grill on the panel to dislodge any dust and dirt
