SYMPTOM

A jingling noise comes from the left dashboard speaker grille when driving on rough roads.

PROBABLE CAUSE

DIAGNOSIS




Remove the left tweeter assembly by carefully prying on its edges. Try to reproduce the noise either by tapping on the top of the dashboard with your fist, or by driving the vehicle on a rough road. If you can reproduce the noise, apply pressure to the DC-AC inverter. If the noise disappears,
continue with CORRECTIVE ACTION.

2. Remove the two screws holding the inverter housing to the cover.




3. Bend the two tabs on the inverter housing up 2mm.

4. Reassemble the inverter housing and cover. Verify that there is no tree play in the housing.
