Default Where the Heck is 3rd Fan in the Back?
I have what sounds like a noisy fan in the back of my car. I took the lid off the IMA box to check the battery and Motor Power Inverter fan. With the car cold, neither is running so the "fan" noise is from somewhere else. Still sounds like a fan near the front of the IMA box, but I can't see one anywhere. Is there a 3rd fan back there somewhere?

So the fuel pump has a fan, or the pump just that noisy? I hadn't noticed it earlier, but then I have 74 year old ears

It doesn't have a fan, but I could imagine it's noise being interpreted as a fan. It's more of a hummm than a whirrr though, lol.
