Hi
the clicking noise on my 405 was the twigs, and leaves in the blower
motor. as I had just replaced the climate ecu, and door motor, this
made me nuts until i figured it out. I took the cover that says made
in France off and vacumned it out. seperate issue, my car shakes at
about 60mph. the motor mounts, and tires are new, wheels balanced
the dash shakes, and the sunvisor rattles in it's holder. this is more
of an up and down movement. anyone have any ideas?
