Rattling in the Rear during acclerator

mkPOTO · 11-11-2010, 10:02 AM

So I am having this problem when accelerating and a rattling noise from the rear, anyone can point me to a link or something on how to fix or where to look? I have searched and it seems to be different types of rattles to what I have.

Thanks
MK

Check the compartment door in the rear console. Stuff a couple of rags or a tennis ball in there tightly to see if it goes away...

In my case it was the rear passenger light case that was rattling. If I reached back and held it up the rattles disappeared.

Never got this thing fixed. I assume opening it up and placing some automotive insulation will fix the issue.

Not the brake light but the center light for the rear passengers.
