Car Forum / Toyota / Toyota Trucks / February 2005Dashboard Clicking 2002 Tundra
I just bought a 2002 Tundra Limited Access Cab. Everything is great, except there is a clicking sound coming from the dashbaord area that is driving me nuts! I can't seem to locate the source, but it is quite loud and only occurs when the vehicle is moving. Any ideas, help!!! Thanks, Jonny Does the speedo waver when your travelling along? This may be a dry speedo cable, if so remove speedo and dash instruments and pour some light oil down the tube. Solved my horrible noise. >I just bought a 2002 Tundra Limited Access Cab.

Happened since new, never found it, never looked. >>I just bought a 2002 Tundra Limited Access Cab.

Happened since new, never found it, never looked. I get an occasional noise from the drink holder in the dash when it is extended. Push it a little bit and the noise goes away. Also cups and cans in the holder can cause noise. The noise I can't get rid of sounds like it is coming from the windshield touching metal. Only happens with windy conditions and temperature below 50 degrees. Never have figured out what causes it. Some folks have bought a piece of the round foam caulking material from a hardware store and jammed that into the space between the glass and the dash.

That works well. You can find the stuff at Home Depot. It comes in rolls and various diameters. Just cut it to length and stuff it in the space between the dash and the windshield. Gary I've had to do this as well. Short of taking the dash apart, the foam stuff worked very well. > Some folks have bought a piece of the round foam caulking material from a > hardware store and jammed that into the space between the glass and the > dash. I've read the other posts and there are probably inherent problems on later trucks that I am unaware. My 84 has a ticking that comes from the dash/speedo area. Oiling the cable does not help. This noise comes from the speedo unit itself and I have never been able to determine what makes it. I have never torn the unit apart because I did not want to be accused of tampering with the odometer. This noise comes and goes and I do not know what stimilates it. > I just bought a 2002 Tundra Limited Access Cab.

Any ideas, help!!! > Thanks, Jonny 2000 with same issue - take the AC control knobs loose and then remove screws behind them. Screws in AC vents need to be removed. Remove center section of dash - apply liberal coating of clear silicone - careful not to get it where you don't want it - reinstall and let dry with all doors open over night. Fixed my issue.

Any ideas, help!!! > Thanks, Jonny This noise comes from the far left (driver's) side of the dash, somewhere above the parking brake pedal and the windshield. It is a clicking or ticking noise that is almost always there. Pushing on the dash at various places doesn't help, it is quite loud and is a real anoyance. Thanks for all your feedback on this, I'll let you know if I figure it out.

Jonny Mine's the same, but much quieter, and mostly isn't there. I've tried pressing this and that dash pieces, nothing helps it. I figure its something inside the dash, which I couldn't bother with. Yours sounds much more annoying. While the engine going or just while the cars in motion? > This noise comes from the far left (driver's) side of the dash, > somewhere above the parking brake pedal and the windshield.

Jonny Just while the car is moving, a loud clicking that sounds in response to bumps and turns, very irregular, but persistant. It's not related to speed, but the truck must be moving!! ???? J > Just while the car is moving, a loud clicking that sounds in response > to bumps and turns, very irregular, but persistant. It's not related to > speed, but the truck must be moving!! ???? J I just had that problem in my 04 Tundra double cab, the dealer spent days tracking it down before giving up on it and sending it out to the body shop. Turns out it was a missed weld in the door pillar in front of the passenger side front door. They had the Truck for a week to figure it out. It's time we all start making a loud clicking noise on the head of every Toyota tech in the country. Every Tundra owner I've ever spoken to has this same issue with dashboard clicking. Mine comes from the back left corner of the passenger airbag. Isn't it about time Toyota admitted the problem exists and issues a Service Bulletin?! > It's time we all start making a loud clicking noise on the head of every > Toyota tech in the country.

Heh, like Toyota gives a sweet one about us once the sale is made... > > It's time we all start making a loud clicking noise on the head of every > > Toyota tech in the country.

I enjoy my tundra, but I'll never buy another Toyota product. Dan It's time we all start making a loud clicking noise on the head of every Toyota tech in the country.
