Blowing air thru back seat tracks...when turned off?

[mikepoinder]

I have the weirdest problem with my 2007 CX 9- when I shut off the car- there is a noticeable (almost loud) sound of a fan blowing. The sounds seems to be coming from the middle in the second row. There is definitely air being pumped up into the passenger cab from the "seat tracks" on the floor.
Any ideas?

Thanks
Mike

I ACTUALLY HAD THE SAME ISSUE... DID IT STOP AFTER 60 SECONDS?

Mine ended up bieng so simple... my neg battery terminal was loose. not sure how that affected it but once tightened it was fine.

Yep- It lasts for about a minute- then stops!
Will try the battery terminal....thx MP

Always check/tighten the battery terminals and clean the surface whenever you have a chance to open the hood. It will save you a lot of time and troubles debugging electronics issues (due to floating ground).

This is also happening to me on my 2007 AWD CX-9. I never waited 60 seconds to see if it stopped. Instead, I could get it to stop if I re-started and then stopped the engine.

I checked battery connection. I still cannot get the fan stop after I shut down the engine. It will still work for 30-60 seconds. Any other ideas? Thanks,

Does your CX9 have the after-market electronics installed?
Things like Sat radio, iPod interface, switch box, or even the auto-dimming/homelink mirror?
Someone could have messed up the connections while doing those.
This sounds like some part of electronics is not properly grounded. Once the charges run out, it falls down to ground voltage and stops as it should.
Start with the after-maket stuff is what I am suggesting....

Hi guys, I had this problem earlier in the summer and the fan would stay on from between 10-100 seconds. I took it to the dealer and they confirmed that there was a problem with the relay and other minor ac components in that section of the vehicle i.e., the air system in the back area). The long and short of it is the dealer (Ramsey Mazada, NJ) repaired it because it was under warranty.

They ordered the part however it took approximately 3-4 weeks to come from Japan. They fixed it and I have since not had the problem.

We're having the same problem. I'm taking in my Mazda next week before we hit the 36K milestone and the car goes out of warranty. Also, we started having trouble with the credit-card keys which no longer cause the driver's seat to auto-adjust when we approach the car.

Only 500 miles to go before the car rolls over to 36,000 miles, so I need to do this fast. :-)

The cardkey problem is probably due to the drained battery. They are $2 a piece in electronic stores.
