Hi - I've almost got all my rattles gone... The security light panel around the lock button on the driver's door is the only one left. Does it pop out, or do I need to take the whole door panel off to get at it to tighten it or felt it or whatever?

I have the service manual but can't find any reference to it.

Thanks.

 

looking at the parts diagram, it looks to be just clipped it, but I'm going to check one more resource before being 100% sure.


EDIT: Nope, you have to loosen the panel on that one side and reach in and unclip the wire harness, then you have to push the clips inwards and then push the module up. Prying it from the top will leave you with a broken security module.

 

Thank you!

 

I added a little bit of teflon tape and thin felt around the assembly and snapped it back in place. That rattle's gone now. So far, I've done (on my 2007 with 19K miles):

- Center speaker rattle (tighten speaker and add weatherstrip)
- Side mirror rattles (Silicone spray in between plastic and door)
- Driver's side vent rattle (added felt according to TSB)
- Door trim rattles (added some more felt)
- Shifter trim rattle/creak (shims and silicone spray)
- Replaced blown rear speaker (discovered earlier rear shelf rattle fixes done by previous owner's dealer)

So finally it's decently quiet.
