It is never pleasing to notice a noise you don’t know anything about and comes from your car. So what if you determine a noise that continues in the cabin of your Ram P/U? It is highly plausible that this is a unimportant trouble, but before being sure of that, it is better to do some verifications. Our team has made this document to help you find and fix this cabin noise. First, we will look at those that come from the dashboard, later noises from the cabin, the doors, and at last the plastic noises on Ram P/U that show up when it is hot.
Reasons that can cause noise in the passenger cabin of your Ram P/U
I encounter plastic rattling noises on the dashboard Ram P/U
One of the plausible reasons that can generate a plastic rattling noise in your Ram P/U is that your dashboard, following an intervention or vibrations suffered during its lifetime, it may have fasteners that have come loose or unscrewed. Try to identify the exact area of this plastic rattling noise on Ram P/U and using your vehicle’s technical manual try to check the tightness of all the screws concerned. Otherwise take your vehicle to your auto mechanic.
I hear noises in the cabin Ram P/U
The second most basic possibility of a cabin noise in your Ram P/U is that some components that come apart may be loose, either because of too frequent disassembly that would have reduced the holding between these parts, or because of vibrations. Think about examining your ceiling light which is often the cause of a cabin noise on Ram P/U. Otherwise open your doors, those closest to the origin of the noise and check all the openings, covers that are present there, some may have moved and therefore vibrate while driving. Usually putting them back in place or gluing them is enough to resolve the trouble.
I discern door noises on my Ram P/U
If you feel a plastic noise on the doors of your Ram P/U, it is plausible that it is one of your door trim fasteners that is destroyed, or a screw from an internal mechanism of the glass for example or the loudspeaker that has unscrewed and therefore causes the component in question to rub against the door interior. Feel free to take apart your door trim to find the source of this plastic door noise on Ram P/U. For more info on door noises on Ram P/U, feel free to look at this article.
I notice a cabin noise when hot Ram P/U
If, on the other hand, you listen to cabin noises in your Ram P/U when summer comes or when the outside temperature is warm, it is sadly rational that this syndrome manifests itself more during these cycles. In fact, plastic being a rather flexible material will expand with heat and will therefore much more easily rub on other plastic or metal parts, this is what will induce cabin noises when hot on your Ram P/U. It is difficult to solve this trouble, you can always look for the exact source of the noise, and try to put foams or tape between the expanding units to limit their noise from their expansion.
