Rattle in dash
 
While sitting at a light the other day I noticed that I have a rattle coming from behind the instrument gage panel. It only happens when sitting still and idling. I wanted to get a feel for what I’m looking for before I take the panel out. Anyone out there have the same thing happen.

I once had a pen roll down the dash and into the windshield vent slot. This used to slide around the vent duct when cornering - very annoying. I removed the pen by first removing the side window demister vent grill.

Removing the instrument cluster is straight forward should your rattle be something from that area....

Rattles are so hard to pinpoint and what may sound like is emanating from behind your gauge pod, it could be from somewhere else. Like Brian stated above, removing your gauge pod is very easy so it's worth a shot. As perhaps a silly question, do you have all the climate control fans off when you listen for the rattle? :dunno:

yes all fans are off.....im going to pull the cluster out to day and see what happens
