Dash Rattle: left of steering wheel

Post by mkl116 »

Has anyone experienced dash rattle to left of steering wheel. It comes and goes depending on engine speed and road conditions. Just applying pressure to points while I drive has no impact so I suspect it is up inside. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks...

Left of steering wheel could be the A-Pillar, which I do currently have something loose inside there. Depending on temperature and road conditions affect if and when I hear the noise. However, I can bang on the pillar and recreate the noise most of the time. Probably some loose wiring. I will be taking it off this weekend to fix.Also, the dash pods (gauge) area could be making a squeaking noise or ticking noise (different sounds depending on temperature). This has been fixed in this thread:http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id ... 2Somewhere inside the middle of my dash, I get a vibrating plastic noise when accelerating.. but this is also dependent on temperature and rpm's. Still haven't found a way to fix it without dealer intervention, however I don't believe they would find it.

Thanks! The instrument cluster sounds like a likely culprit. I'll give it a shot tomorrow.
