Vibrating/Buzzing Driving Me Crazy! Help Me find It!

LunaZ · 04-10-2010, 10:30 PM

Something is vibrating and buzzing inside my car.
It sounds like it's behind the passenger seat, possibly in the plastic panel on the B pillar.
I've removed the cargo area cover, taken the manual out of the glovebox behind the seat and it still makes noise back there. This happens with the radio on or off, so I'm pretty sure it's not the speaker.

Anyone else have this issue or know what I should be looking for?

take out the battery to see if it stops. hmmmmm.

Could be stemmed from the problem someone had in a previous thread,

It's more of a loose plastic sort of vibrating/buzzing noise that occurs when driving over bumps, at certain RPMs and when the bass is turned up on the stereo.

My passenger seat makes noise when someone who weighs 175ish sits in it while im driving. Under that and over that, its fine, but never when its empty... weird... same kinda vibrating, buzzing as your talking about I think.

I chose to ignore it.
Since I'm still feeling out this community, I wasn't sure if it was the old guard hazing a newbie or if that sort of humour is the normal tone around here.

Its whatever you find to be a more redeeming less offensive quality. The community here is a great one actually.

To answer your origonal question, I think the issue is a wiring harness of sorts that taps the inside of the brace, where the brace joins in the interior trim. If you haven't noticed the bulk majority of us have some form a rattle or another. Mine is the buzzing noise you describe, I haven't been bothered enough by it to have it fixed as the issue is only intermitant.
