I have a 2001 MDX with Touring and Nav, there is a strange sound that seems to e coming from the passenger side above the glove box. The best was i can describe it is a clickity sound or maybe even the sound of rain falling on a tin roof. maybe even a high puitched crackling sound. It doesnt seem to have anything to do with the heating or AC system as I still hear it even after i shut off the system.

I cant replicate the noise, i think it might always be there, i just dont notice it alweays becasue of the volume of my sound system.

I took my car to the dealer and asked them to check it out, they said all i need is a small clip in the glove box, they didnt have it in stock to they ordered it for me. told me it would take 20 seconds to install the next time i go in for service.

anyone else have any ideas.....?

thanks

It might be a leaf or some debris stuck in the pollen filter which is directly behind the glove box.

This was the case in my son's Civic. It had him freaked out at first, but before he took it to the mechanic for who knows how much $$$, he checked the filter first.

Sure enough, that was it.

I get crackling noises or popping sounds also. It happens when I have the temperature set to 70. It goes away when I increase or decrease the temperature. It will continue when the climate unit is turned off. I have tried to locate the source of the sound, but every time I stop the car and run around to the passenger side, the sound stops. Turning the A/C off does not impact it.

I scoured the boards and have seen a few others with a similar problem, but no solutions.

Theories anyone?
