there is a unique noise that comes every once in a while from under my dash felt around while driving and held the clock and it stopped, what should i take apart and tighten or look at to fix this annoying noise

 

lol, I will offer a little advice/forum for you.

1) where is it coming from
2) what does it sound like
3) can you replicate it
4) are you sure it has ANYthing to do with your clock (strange IMO)
5) year, model
6) when it started

Thats a start...

 

96 limited 4runner sounds like a constant chatter like a bird maybe, near the clock maybe not the clock itself but around that general area does it on and off started a few weeks ago

 

ne one have ne other ideas

 

I know of a TSB for the 01 truck relating to a dash squeak
there is a write up over at customtacos.com
in the technical section

the TSB involves the passenger side airbag rubbing against the rest of the dash
might have some useful info
?????

 

I've been having the same problem. Sound like little baby birds chirpin'. The noise is abosutlely annoying. I'm still trying to diagnos what it is. If anyone had the same problem and fixed it, please help.

 

its good someone has it, i took it apart and it may be the metal clips on the back of the center piece

 

I have the same problem with my '03 Tacoma. Mine is the blower fan for the heater and A/C. Turn the fan to a different speed and see if the noise changes. I pulled mine out and tried to oil it, but it didn't make a difference. It only does it occasionaly and I haven't been annoyed enough yet to replace it.
