Steering wheel rattle fix
After 3 trips to the dealer to fix my 06 TL with the damn steering wheel rattle I decided to take matters into my own hands.
The airbag doesnt rattle, the column doesnt rattle, so I figured it had to be the connector or the harness it sits in. When I removed the cover of the steering wheel I found 2 connectors to the air bag, and probably the buttons on the wheel. The connectors are both lose and rattle when tapped. I put some foam tape against the sides of the yellow connector and slid it back in its holder, then I put a zip tie around the two connectors and harness, -the rattle is gone.
Why is it so hard to fix something that simple, shouldtint he dealer know these things.
It took me 5 minutes to do this, I am sure the rest of you with this problem can fix it this fast as well.
