I saw you this morning and realized it was you about half a second before you passed by.

On a side note. There is a rattle IN my driver door, in the back top corner of it [closest to my ear]. I say IN it because I removed the door panel and it was still there. Its driving me insane. And now my ECU is having the awesome high pitch annoy the **** out of you want to go kill yourself wtf is happening sound.

All of this after my warranty ran out.

Only one way out

For the ecu whine, the dealer should take care of it even out of warranty. It's pretty common and well known as a flaw.

For the rattle, you're probably sol. I fixed it once by getting a piece of crap out with a magnet, but the next time it happened I could not get rid of it to save my life....

Hmm... magnet, I haven't thought of that. I have a pretty powerful magnet I might try to see if it will make it stop..

The rattle bothers me more than the whine. Is there a TSB out for the whine?

I don't think there's a tsb, but it's a "known issue" like 5th gear. I think it was all the ecus with a PN ending with an A are bad....they should note it as pre-existing and take care of you

Roll tide!

Parkerman · 01-11-2012, 11:00 PM

Haha, Damn straight!

Btw, Meet is the 20th at PF Changs at 5:30.

Red__Zed · 01-11-2012, 11:03 PM

I'll be traveling again for this next meet, but I swear I still have that clutch spring for ya.

Parkerman · 01-11-2012, 11:05 PM

Its cool man.

On a side note... I want to fill my driver side door with spray foam to stop this rattling... Its horrible.

Red__Zed · 01-11-2012, 11:12 PM

Where's the rattle coming from? Still the top?

No luck with the magnet?

Did this just start, or did it always do this?

Parkerman · 01-12-2012, 11:13 AM

Its slowly gotten worse over time.

Yep, still at the top... Top rear of the driver side door. Couldn't get the magnet to work.. Might try again though.

Did a search and others have this problem too.

Samir · 01-12-2012, 12:29 PM

Have you tried swinging the door open and seeing if there's any play up and down compared to the passenger size?

The reason I say this is that I've got a rattle like this on one of my 95 Altimas and it's actually a small plastic bushing on the hinge.
