Something in my dash (behind the instrumentation panel) is rattling. It rattles all the time... like a really fast rattle, but I don'tt wanna take my dash apart to get to the peice that's rattling... do you guys know what "commonly rattles" and if there is a work around to fixing it?

I don't know if I can get to it from under the dash (where my feet go) because I can't get my head down there when I am driving... it sounds like a loose washer or something

 

pull the lower part since it comes out easy, then you can reach under there while driving.

 

Lower part? The part that wraps around the "nut cooler vent" (a/c vent under steering wheel).

 

mine makes that noise 2 its ******* annoying!

 

o
but mine rattles like behind the glove box??
do all 84 rx7's have locks on the glovebox cuz i lost my key and i cant open it 2 c if the noise is somtin inside it.

 

Mine has a lock.. but, i don't havea key for it... that's strange... i never really thought about that... i've never locked the damn thing, nor did i ever realize I couldn't lock it... wierd.

I am going to do some investigation!!!

 

my car came with the thiung locked and no key and the noise is comin from there im soo pissed off i dont wanna rip the dash apart or pay like 60 bux for a locksmith 2 open it

 

hey wait
i wonder if the key for the car opens it??

 

My ignition key works my glovebox lock

 

the key for the car should open y'alls glove boxes. Ad far as the rattle, Its either something in your glove box, or rattlesnake. Open it at your own risk

For the rattle behind the dash, does the speedometer needle bounce around when you're driving? My wife's car did that and it was the meter making the noise. I change the cable and it still made noise so we found out it was the meter.

 

ok
there was a glof ball in the glovebox
lol
i opend it up it looks the the look would use a much smaller key.

 

are you for real? one, you didn't even think to use the ignition key for the glove box? and, you mistook a golf ball for a rattle?

dang.

 

I'm glad the previous owner left a golf ball and not a Whopper combo in there, wow would of not rattled, but the stink! hehe

 

no im sayin the golf ball was rollin around makin a rattleing noise.

but now it doesnt, it was realy bad tho cuz i have a long bumpy driveway(i live in the middle of nowere) and it was pissen me off.

 

the lower section off the dash is just plastic panels. i figured with those off you could reac in the easier.
