Noise from glovebox or passenger vents

Post by chrisblues »

The other day while driving with the a/c on I hear a weird noise coming from the glovebox or passenger vents.It sounds like hundreds of little marbles being dropped in a box or if anyone remembers those rain sticks you turned upside down to sound like rain.I can usually replicate the noise when making a sharp turn.Any ideas what this is?I know it is not anything in my glove box so we can rule that out.

Double check your cabin filter and see what the condition of it is in. It sounds like something has went passed the filter and is now bouncing on the blower motor. Not really sure the proper way to check, but maybe take out the filter and crank the a/c and see if perhaps the "marble" gets knocked past the filter and ends up being accessable. This may not be a plausible solution at all, but ya never know.

After reading some other posts, I checked the floor on the passenger side under the mats and it does feel a little damp.
