98 Elantra rattle
I have a 98 Elantra that had a loud rattle on the left side ofthe dashboard.
THis rattle seems to be more apparent when it's cold out of the air conditioning is on. It sounds as if it could be the spedometer cable, but I'm unsure. Has anyone else had a noise like this and knows what the cause is?

Re: 98 Elantra rattle
This may not be the same type of problem, but a similar noise was coming
from my dashboard of my 96 Elantra. Just figured something was loose behind the panel. A few weeks ago, the car started jerking when it tried to change gears (automatic) and seemed confused about whether it needed to downshift or upshift. So I was convinced that something was wrong with the transmission (again...don't even talk to me about tranny problems and that car!). When the mechanic ran a diagnostic, he found that the cable connected to the spedometer (they call it a Speedo cable) was frayed. This frayed cable was relaying false readings to the transmission, causing the jerking to occur. They then took the car out for a test drive and found that the spedometer needle was jumping when its speed was increased to 60km. So my suggestion, is to watch for that needle jump, be aware of any jerking that may happen when you increase or decrease speed without applying the brakes, or take it in to a dealership to assess the problem!
