I'm posting this here because all the Jeep sites I can find on usenet
look like they've had next to no new posts on them for the last year or
more.

And, there seem to be more knowledgeable folks here than on many other
newsgroups.

This isn't a "problem", but my inquiring mind is just looking for an answer:

SWMBO drives a 2014 Jeep Compass. On the occasions when she's driving
the two of us somewhere in her car and stops to run into a store for
something, leaving me in the car with the engine off and ignition key
out, I notice this happening.

About three minutes after the car is shut down I hear a whirring noise
which sounds like small electric motor. That noise appears to come from
under the dashboard and lasts about two seconds. When that noise stops a
second similar whirring noise starts and lasts for about the same time
as the first one, but it has a slightly different pitch and seems to
come from a different place in front of me.

My best guess is that the noises are coming from small electric motors
which are doing something like moving flap valves in the car's HVAC
ducts, but I don't understand why they don't do that as soon as the car
is shut down.

If someone here knows for certain what is making those noises I'd sure
like to know.

Thanks guys,

Probably.

As to timing, the controllers running the car have their own idea of
what needs to be done, when. Radiator fans are electric, nowadays
(most vehicles, even those without transverse engines) and run on
to bring the temperature of the coolant down -- even though the
coolant isn't being actively *pumped* through the stopped engine!
Perhaps similar reasoning applies?

Why not look at the locations of the various flaps and monitor
them in one such experiment? Or, pull the cabling to one and see
if it stops making that noise? Note that it may be a single
actuator doing "double duty" -- moving two different mechanisms
at two different times (one to take outside air into the
cabin, another to route "treated" air to the top and/or bottom
ports, etc.)

Workshop manuals make these sort of questions a lot easier to resolve
(with a lot less "actual work"! : )

If someone here knows for certain what is making those noises I'd sure like to
know.

"SWMBO" that's funny. She Who Must Be Obeyed. You admit to it so casually.

When I was in my first year of college, I dated a co-ed
who travelled by electric wheel chair. She had one crisis
after another, hospital trips and such. My grades dropped,
severely. I did my best to separate from her, but it was
only about ten years later I heard the last. She'd call my
parents house. I found out later my Mom would drive to the
psych center to "help her with her reading".

If you made any sense at all, you might be worth screwing with. As is it, I'd
just be wasting my time messing with a troll...and a pretty lame one at that.

I agree.

Zak, unfortunately, is not one of the good ones. Trying to insult those of us that have no
problem calling our best friend and lover SWMBO is old and played out.

Maybe if he can come up with something that piques my interest, I'll engage..

No. Though the PC crowd may try to hijack it.

It's intended as tongue in cheek -- much the same as the "Yes, Dear"
sort of acquiesence.

It also covers a larger class of individuals -- wives, S.O.'s,
girlfriends, etc.

A more misogynistic term might be "SWtsMBO" :
