Noise Front of Vehicle / Dash Area





If you receive customer reports in the above model vehicles of noise from the center of the dash area, this may be caused by a portion of the ME wiring harness contacting the plastic guide on the partition wall or the harness not properly positioned in the harness retainer clip (Figure 1). Perform the procedure below to resolve.

2. Remove cowl drain tube on drivers side (Figure 2, arrow), unclip plastic cover clips (Figure 2, circle) and partially remove the harness from the plastic guide.





3. Wrap the ME wiring harness with felt tape (A001 983 23 10) where it fits into the plastic guide on the partition wall (Figure 3).

4. Wrap the end of the felt tape on the harness near the clip location with fabric tape (Figure 3).

5. Insert 10 mm x 10 mm square piece of felt tape between partition wall cover and all screw clips (Figure 1, circles - 2 shown).
6. Check the ME wiring harness at the clip location (Figure 3), reposition the harness to fit properly into the retainer clip.

7. Apply special sliding compound (A000 989 36 60) to felt tape in the area where the harness is in contact with the plastic guide.
