PROCEDURE
1. Verify the specific noise complaint with the customer. Note the audio setting at which the noise occurs (volume, bass, treble, fader, and balance
control positions).
2. To determine the location of the noise, press a suspect area with your hand. The location is identified if the noise stops when you press it, and
starts again when you release.
a. If the noise seems to come from the window control switch, door release handle, or grab handle areas, go to Step 3.
b. If the noise is speaker-related, refer to TSB-04-54-002REV for audio speaker troubleshooting procedures.
3. After determining the location of the noise, use the appropriate repair procedure below:
a. Vibration at window switch may be caused by:
-
Window switch bezel lock tabs contacting the door panel.
The door panel fabric may be improperly positioned under the panel trim. This condition allows the bezel lock tabs to contact the trim
panel and causes the vibration noise.
