Default Baby rattle

Yes I searched but want to know if anybody ever found the cause of this rattle.

I have an '06 and I have a dash rattle that sounds like it's coming from the Voltage guage or maybe the Oil PSI guage.

I was finally able to recreate the noise on occasion by thumping on the passenger side of the dash near the gauge cluster and that air vent. Sounds like it could be something behind the gauges, like a loose wire or something but sometimes it sounds like it could be the ring around the guages, where it meets the lens' or something else on the outside of the guages. Just when I think I have it pressed in the right spot and figured out how to get rid of it, it's not gone.

I have one as well, but they seem to be in different places. Mine is coming from the passenger side. Sounds more from the door/side of the car than the dash though. GL on finding yours. I'm still in search as well.

P.S. Make sure you do not have any loose change in the dash compartment on the passenger side dash. (For your sake I hope it is that easy)

Yah, I bought the '05 used and it's always had the rattle right in front of me. Maybe it's that metal surrounding the gauges. Goes crazy on bumpy roads. Must fix.

i recently(about two week ago) fixed my passenger side dash rattle. It was an annoying light vibrating type rattle, all i did was jamming a half inch thick of junk mail in between the windshield and the dash area near the right hand corner section. I have had no rattle since.
