Evening all,

 

I've got an irritating vibration coming from my driver side door on my 2017 VRS. Only noticeable when playing music with heavier bass, but far from pushing it, volume perhaps just over half way. Doesn't sound like a blown speaker, also had the door card off and secured all of the usual suspects such as the window switch and the inside of the door Control module etc. Anyone ran into anything similar and found the culprit? Sounds potentially like it may be from inside the door itself, has anyone known the window actuator to case a vibration? Having the window fully rolled down doesn't seem to make a difference.

Also, if anyone has any advice on how to unplug the ambient lighting plug from the door card I'd welcome it, couldn't get the damn thing off last time, I've got some big old hands and for the life of me I couldn't get my fingers around the connector, let alone figure out how to unclip it. Tools seem like a bad idea also as it looks like one slip would result in me ripping the wires out entirely. I can't be dealing with working around the door card hanging by half an inch of cable again. Ta very much!

I had the same thing with my 2017 vRS. I replaced speakers and sound deadened the door as part of an ICE install.

But I think the main cause of the buzzing was the door card vibrating against the door itself. I put some neoprene tape on the door all the way around where the door card sits.

It's been a while but I do remember struggling with the amibent plugs, I think they just pull out, but can't remeber if there is a retainer of some kind.

Find a box or something roughly the same height as the bottom of the door card. That way you can sit it on there and work through the open window to see better whats going on.
