c5 random rattle at idle
Hello everybody, I have a 99 c5 vert and sometimes it will rattle at idle and lower speed driving. it sounds like something is tapping around down there. I recently installed a hyper flash relay and notice some broken clips but i glued everything back and reinstalled it with no problems, about a week later i started noticing a rapid tick under the dashboard. almost like a really loud relay ticking very very fast at a random rate. Im good with mechanical work but anything electrical i have no idea.

Well...at least it's not coming from under the hood.
The dash isn't hard to pull off, and if you remove the dash to find out, you could upgrade your dash lights and add gauge rings at the same time.
