Blower motor was replaced because of a fault code found in diagnostic test. Now I have a rattle coming from somewhere in the center dash. Not constant but an annoyance on bumpy surfaces. Is this going to be a nightmare to find and repair properly the first time? Furthermore, any suggestions (from a tech's point of view) as to what I should recommend they look for without having to go through numerous road tests? I want my cabin silence back the way it was!!

HELL ONA HARLEY

If the rattle started after the blower was replaced then I would suggest to have them (or yourself) check on the pieces they had to remove to get the blower out... Personally, this is my biggest complaint about any service center doing work on my vehicles and bike's too.... Seems what ever the wrenches touch it never goes back the same way...

Back in 1999 when I bought my first Mercedes, a S500 I had to have the speaker in the center of the dash replaced. To do so they evidently had to remove the dash. Afterwards I had a 'rattle' that I just could not locate. It sounded like it was coming from the center air vents. In fact I was 'positive' that was the problem. Anyway it turned out to be the dash rubbing against the window. We found it by accident, by sticking a business card between the dash and window. It was repaired easily after that but finding it was a mystery for several weeks. Those phanton noises are sometimes the most frustrating problems to locate.
