Unhappy Dashboard kicking and SRS Light

Hi all,

I recently has lots lof dashboard rattle on both driver & passanger side. I have heard the purge solenoid valve is the cause of it but not in my case. My rattle noise is a different frequency then the PSV clicking sound. It happends everyday at startup, at light, stop sign....when ever the car is at idle, no matter it's cold or warm.

I can hear about the same rattle sound about 1 foot away from the driver side fender. When I move closer to the engine bay, the rattle sound is gone except the PSV noise.

Today, I tried to take apart the instrument panel and gauge to wrap some soft form everywhere I can. But even w/o all these panels and gauge, I can still hear this loud & fast kicking noise.

Anyways, after I put everything back, my SRS light is on forever. I am sure I connect all 3 connectors on the gauge and all 5 connectors on the right side panel and 2 on the left. I even disconnect the battery but the SRS still dont want to go away. Anyone know the solution?

I gave up on fixing the dashboard rattle. I was about to do some upgrades like new rotors...now forget it...I dont want to waste $$ on this car anymore...

Please help me for the SRS light problem. Thanks a lot.

I got a extended warranty paper in the mail today saying there is a promblem with the srs light and a sensor on the passenger seat. that might be the problem.

yea its under warranty, I got that letter too but I got mines replaced last year..it'll take em a day or something since they have to tear apart your dash, so most likely u'll get a loaner bring it in and ask em if its under extended warranty for that.

Humm, that letter...I shreaded it because I think it has nothing to do w/ me.... Looks like I need to take it to the dealer.

BTW, importvizion, does your SRS light came on when you repair it or the "side airbag" light's on???

thanks

it was on all the time, You don't even need that letter they don't even really look at it. They just take down your VIN# and pop it in the computer n all the info is already there about it
