Rattling sound after turning off the ignition
My car's been doing this for a while, and haven't worried about it much, but occured to me maybe someone's familiar with this ...
When I turn off the engine I hear a sort of a momentary rattling under the dash somewhere. A little hard to describe, maybe like a motor with a bad bearing coming to a stop, something like that.
I know it's not the blower motor, that's nice and quiet at all times. Is there anything under there that might make a brief noise when power's removed? Can't think of any other electric motors under the dash anywhere ...

it could be the fan in the temp sensor duct right next to the air outlet in the center grille
or it could be a TT bearing
might be the blue valve under the hood at the brake booster

I was thinking the TT bearing too since I have a similar noise on shutoff as well. Have someone sit in the car and start it while raised on jackstands, then shut if off while under it. That is how I confirmed my bearing rattle.
