nissandoms47 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I have the most annoying dash rattle in the world. It's coming from the defroster vents area, but its not the actual plastic vent pieces. Has anyone else had a problem like this? im about ready to kill the thing. The rattle goes away when i turn on the air and put it to the defrost vents.

NismoSkyZ Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I have the SAME EXACT FREAKIN RATTLE. I'm almost positive its either the blower motor or fan or something along those lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissandoms47 Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 ya im gunna take out the blower motor tomorrow probably, but it doesnt make sense that the rattle is up there by the windshield and not down by the blower motor. im thinking some punk passenger dropped a skittle or something in there.

xkrewx Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 i have the rattle to but it only happens when idling and its not very loud. It sounds like its just the plastic of the vents .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4le Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I have alot of rattles too caused by the tires at certain speeds. I shoved a rag in 1 spot inside the dash, and I have stuck little foam blocks in other spots. I have given up for the most part but when I get really bad ones, I work on them again. Just today I was thinking to myself, how much nicer my pathy would ride and how much better the gas mileage would be, and how much better it would be on the interstate I it was stock again. F*** THAT!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96s14 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Whenever i have my fan blowing i can hear a whirring noise. The blade is hitting the housing i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t0ast Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I read before that the bearing of the fan motor give out so you get the whirling noise. I know I have it on the low speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denisb Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Maybe you should've bought a WD21. They sure used to make them good back in the days. Sorry, I had to poke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4x4le Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 4x4le, do you have any pics or anything of where you put those little foam pads? anything would be greatly appreciated. No, sorry, I didnt think to take any pictures. All I did, was have someone drive my truck aroud on bumpy back roads while I didasameled the dash and glove box and vents. I had some foam blocks I stole from work (I work in a factory making interior items for nissan) and stuck them in places to eliminate the rattles. I stuck my hands on the vents and the such when there were rattles and then put stuff in there to make them stop rattling. I put a wash cloth in 1 spot. The thing is, everything rattles again. I probable fixed the old rattles, but i think the rattles I have again are new. I think my rattles have to do with out of balance tires. They were balanced when I got them, but I think they need them again, I think Im going to but airsoft pellets in them so they will just be balanced and stay balenced. My pictures probable wouldnt help because our rattles are probable different. Some places I know I put them are: In the sun glasses holder to keep resistance on it when its shut in the glovebox to keep resistance on it when its shut under the windshield window pillar and I think that the rag went under the tube that leads to the central vent and I think I accessed it through the glovebox. I think that I did something when I took the center plate off and stuck something under the center vents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trogdor Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 (edited) Hey 4X4LE I worked in a tire shop and those pellets really don't work that well, I would just get your tire rebalanced Just have them recalabrate the balancer before they balance your tires. Hey Alex the big-O in AF lets me balance my tires for free. sssh Edited March 6, 2007 by trogdor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissandoms47 Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 Say what? I should go get mine rebalanced, but i kinda wanna go pick up some 32" MT-Rs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trogdor Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I might be able to get you some money off on those, but I am not sure. 32 by 11.5, 12.5 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissandoms47 Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 well driving home from work tonight my dash hasnt rattled at all yet! kinda weird.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4le Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 she dont want you to perform surgery from her.... Humm, I dunno about the pellets. I have heard just as many people say they work as Ive heard say they dont. If my tires go out of balance this quickly, Id rather not balance them at all, and if the pelets work I only have to do it once, if they dont, Im out a few $. Maybe I should try marbles lol. No searously, how bout them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trogdor Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 UMM marbles? I've lost of ew of those latly, Hey if you want to try them I say go for it, Personally i have never seen them work that well, if it works let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
