S I G H ...
Got in my truck when it was cold a few weeks back and the ability to
change from floor vents to defroster was lost in a flash along with a
wonderful grinding sound. Took it to the dealer and they replaced the
mode door assembly.
Since that time, I have a vibrating sound coming from that area when
at idle in drive or reverse. I have crawled underneath and made sure
all screws and bolts are tight. All wire harnesses appear to be
secure. I removed the glove box, poked around and didn't detect
anything loose. So, I crammed my head underneath the dash again ...
and it sounds like the rattle is coming from *inside* the airbox near
where the heater motor is attached.
Any ideas?

Pull the fan out (3 screws) and see if anything 'extra' falls out from the
repair.

I will try that. The vibration isn't right at the motor, it's in the
area. About 6 inches to the left (between the floor vent and the
blower motor). I will attempt to use a magnet as the other poster
suggested.
If this doesn't work, I'm wondering if I can remove the bottom of the
airbox without having to jerk the dash and remove the entire unit?
Thanks,

Also use one of those flexible magnetic mechanics pickup tools. Works
wonders in sucking up dropped screws, nuts and washers. >> Stay informed about: 2004 Ram 2500 Dash Rattle |

I've been down this road before. I drop it off, demonstrate the issue
to the service personnel, leave, two days later the technician can't/
won't reproduce the problem.
Thanks, but no thanks. I'd rather fix it myself ... and would have
originally ... but it was still under warranty. I had high hopes that
something this simple wouldn't be screwed up. Silly me.

Take it back to the dealer and ask them. They screwed it up, let them
find the problem...

I would check under the hood first before removing anything.Check the a/c
accumulator (large black and has two pipes coming out of the top) mounting
bracket there are two 10mm screws that hold it to the pcm mounting bracket.
Chances are they were left loose. Have someone sit in the vehicle while it
is making the noise. Then just start touching things under the hood
(accumulator, transmission dipstick tube, air box,...) to see if the noise
changes for the person in the vehicle.
