[DML] Re: AC unit/clock on radio/buzzing sound

["Toby Peterson" <tobyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Christian - How's this for a concept?  Perhaps the two symptoms are 
related?  The air distribution doors and flaps use vacuum for 
movement, supplied via the mode switch.  If the available vacumm is 
reduced, say from a vacuum leak, then the action of the doors will 
be reduced or stopped.  If the vacuum leak were in the form of a 
split rubber vacuum line, this can have a buzzing sound, not unlike 
the reed of a clarinet.  If the leak were in the mode switch 
diaphram, it could also make a sound, not unlike a "whoopy 
cushion".  I will let somebody else chime in on the clock setting 
procedure.  I haven't had a stock radio in my car since 1988.

radio is off.  It's almost a hum, but louder. Definitely sounds 
electric in nature...

Anyone have idiot instructions? It's the stock radio/cassette...
