CX-5 Noise from Engine Bay when turned Off (with Video) - Any ideas?

[Seed65]

Hello,

After turning off the engine of my 2022 CX-5, I always heard the fan run for a bit before it shut down. That seemed normal. However recently the a odd noise developed and not sure what this is? It is coming from the front of the engine bay- passenger side. The noise stops when the fan stops. Any ideas?

FYI- I can barely hear the noise when the car is running, so it is present at that time too.

Thanks!

Perhaps a headlamp auto-leveling motor? What trim level is your 2022?

Fan bearing? Or something trapped in your fan?
When the car is cold, start it up and switch on/off your A/C (which will also switch on/off the fan), then you can check if the fan itself causes the noise.

Don't have that trim level! But good thought.

I did some more evals. It is not coming from the fan or the fan motor. The sound seems to come from the general area of this piece. I can feel the vibration on the passenger side headlight. Thoughts?

That's the Anti-lock brake unit (ABS)

Yes it is! What would that be on after the car is turned off? lol

Update!

Actually - my CX-5 has the Auto-leveling feature and that was indeed the problem! I didn't think my trim level had it.

Dealer replaced the headlamp and all is well.

Thank you all for the input.
