[xj40] under dash ratteling...help please

Dear Listers,

Last week strange sound developed under my dash, it sounds like
vent flaps rattle. Is it possible they broke when I run into a hole
in a road? Or maybe flaps turned into wrong position?
What can be a reason of this niose?
Does anyone expirienced something similar?

As always thanks for any ideas, appreciate in advence.

The rattles I’ve found that sound like under the dash are: window
defroster vents loose- press down at center and ends; visor mirror
lost tension, and rattles. Press up on visor when in stowed
position.

Try these two, see if they help.

The question I have is where is the noise coming from, from the
driver side or passengers?
I had a solenoid, under the drivers side, making a racket which
drove me up a wall till figured out it was the culprit.
Now the strange thing is. I was driving when I figured it out so I
just unhooked the solenoid, because there were three of them and I
just wanted to isolate the offending one, but now that it is
hanging upside down it doesn’t cycle anymore???
