Dash Rattle

[nfpgasmask]

Bart,

What are you doing to your poor VX? Kidding.

Nothing! I take good care of her!!! I think it must have had something to do with the heat being on full blast. I just went to get coffee across the street and the rattle was gone, and I didn't have the heater on.

I did COMPLETELY spin out exiting the parking lot though. I tell ya, in all of my short 33 years of life, I have NEVER driven in slicker conditions than today.

If you don't get it figured out there is always "Red Rock Wrenching".....if you guys can make it, that is.

Unfortunately, it's not in the cards this year.

EDIT: BART, I just thought about this; does the rattle happen only when your interior fan is running? If so the fan may be out of balance or hitting something in the dash. Every now and then my fan will go out of whack and contact something back in the dash and make a loud, rhythmic ticking/clacking sound (and it is loud enough to be heard over the music). Luckily it goes away, but I may have to get back there and fix it some day. You said that your rattle happened when the heater was going full blast (lucky dog with all the snow) so that's what made me think of it.

Yeah, I am thinking it is the fan or the blinker relay...

Thanks!

Bart
