Rattle/buzz/ticking from central console
Hi,
Recently fixed/oiled/cleaned my blower motor so I've enjoying driving along without crickets in my car.
However, I also notice another noise - it's a lighter ticking coming from somewhere around where the climate control is - maybe even down near where the cup holders/12V is - it's not the noise of the plastic between the central front air vents creaking, that happens sometimes but it's manageable.
It seems like it's coming from inside the console, behind the unit, and pressing on various bits of trim seems to affect it.
It's an early pre-facelift version 2009 (2010 in the USA).
Does anyone have any tips on this, is it a common issue etc? Anyone solved it?
Cheers!
Ed
