Rattle From Front Of Dash - keywords bump click cowl hood ip ipc suspension steer under upper

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

Some owners may comment on a rattle from the dash area. This rattle could be caused by the engine cover contacting the front of dash/cowl area. The engine cover is retained at the rear by two "C" style retainers. An engine harness that is not properly seated in its U-channel (shown below) can obstruct the engine cover from going into its "C" retainers. This will push the rear of the engine cover up and contact the front of dash/cowl area (shown below).

To correct this concern fully seat the engine harness into the U-channel (shown below) and reinstall the engine cover making sure it is retained properly in the "C" retainer.

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
