For the past couple of years have been noticing a vibration coming from the dashboard and glove box when the car was idling.

A few days back, I noticed that when I pull the seat belt buckle holder (while wearing the seat belt) away from me (towards the dash) the vibration stops completely.

Anyone else face this unique vibrating experience? :-)

short circuit and consequent loss of current? that would cause increased load in alternator and thus engine, especially at idle

Nope, but i've experienced some other unique vibrating experiences.

Haha, but in all seriousness, I think maybe you have something loose in your glove compartment?
Or a loose wire wiggling about?
Possibly a loose panel too

But that would not explain why the vibration goes away when I push the belt buckle towards the dash. Weird!

some other experiences huh! i don't think i'll ask for more details :-)

The above also would not explain why the vibration goes away when I push the belt buckle towards the dash. Weird!

Could possibly be that the b pillar panel could be loose, or the seatbelt assembly might be loose

wasn't there some electrical components wired to the exploding tensioner?

Could be.

Both of you have raised some interesting points.
