    So this is a 2 parter and they are unrelated.

    1. My interior lights work intermittently. i only have a problem with the dash lights. I can make them come on if I push on the brightness adjusted, sometimes it will stay on for a little and some times I'm driving in the dark. Any help?

    2. When I driving at normal speeds all is good. When I get on it, starting around 3700 rpm I can hear a very loud rattle from the driver side window. It is not coming from the window, but passengers can not hear it from this window. It sounds like something is lose and about to fall off. Anything on this one?

    Over all the car runs awesome, I would just like to get these takwn care of ya know.

    On the door rattle,
    check the hardware in your door,
    Its really easy to disassemble
    Also look on the Outside of the door under the top cheese grater below the lock
    there is a hex screw that goes into the door. Mine was loose and drove me crazy until I found it, it could be that
    Good Luck

    It sounds to me like the brightness adjustment has some corrosion on it and needs to be replaced. If you can get them to come on by pressing it, then that should be the source of the problem. Otherwise, it would have no affect on the lights coming on.

    Check to make sure the rubber mounts for the motor are still good. Also, there's a mounting bracket at the bottom rear of the window track that's bad about breaking.

    so after my crap-tastic detective skills, i have found nothing on the rattle. Thanks for the advice so far.

    So what do you guys think, is it safe to continue to drive it for now or am I SOL until looked at, if i dont get on it hard it doesnt make that noise.

    Thanks guys
