Brief Electrical/Rattling Noise from Trunk [solved]
Brief Electrical/Rattling Noise from Trunk [solved]
Not 100% certain of the problem but guessing its perhaps electrical? I drive Uber in my 2017 Civic EXT. Early this morning I picked up a couple going to the airport in Vegas. I popped the trunk and they put some luggage in. As I pulled away I heard a rattling noise that lasted maybe two seconds. I thought it was their luggage settling in my trunk. But when I dropped them off at the airport I heard it again when I pulled away. The best way to describe it almost like an electrical/rattling noise. It has never happened before I have 140k on my car. I pulled over checked all inside my trunk noticed nothing. The noise happened again as soon as I pulled away. It lasts only about 2-3 seconds each time and it happened every time I picked up and dropped off a rider this morning. The noise is coming from my trunk and its loud enough it’s very noticeable to my riders. But it never happens again after I begin the ride. Eventually, I realized it only seems to happen after someone opens the door. The noise will never happen except at the very beginning of a ride. Like If I stop a red light etc. and drive again no noise until after a rider gets out or in. So I started to suspect it might be related to the door/trunk open warning system? I was in between rides at a red light and I opened and closed my driver side door to test and bingo the noise happened as soon I started to go when the light turned green. So I’m fairly certain it’s somehow related to this. Same thing lasts about 2-3 seconds sounds like an electrical/rattling type noise. I suspect the riders might’ve damaged an electrical cable in my trunk this morning when he put his luggage in? Very appreciative is anyone has any idea what the fix for this might be?

It was the fuel door buzzing ; six month back order on the part Honda tech said they’ve had so many it should be a recall ; was just coincidence when it started happening I thought it was trunk related my bad
