    Hello all,

    I have an unusual clicking and snapping noise (not a vibration) coming from the drivers side dash or steering column. Sound seems to be from inside the dash, lower than the steering wheel. It’s not very loud so I’ve had a difficult time figuring out it’s specific location. Noise doesn’t start until >70mph and then persists in approximately 1-3 second intervals. Noise goes away once I’ve slowed down to the 30-40mph range. Happens when I’m going straight, turning, accelerating, decelerating, braking. Nothing but slowing down makes it stop. Same goes for a/c or air vent selection or modes, tried changing all that. I have no warning lights or any indications that could be associated. I’ve looked under the dash and don’t see anything loose, but it was a pretty quick check with a flashlight.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Vehicle specs:
    2013 TRD sport, ~85000 miles. All terrain tires.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.

    It not right to find the problem so quick. It takes away from all the entertaining responses.
