Squeaking from drivers side dash

[Senn02]

Hi all!

Recently picked up a 02 Tahoe. After driving it for a few days this squeaking noise has been coming from what seems like the drivers side dash/center console. I’ve seen previous threads mention the Blend Door Actuator going bad but I still have hot/cold air on demand in the front and rear. I haven’t been able to track it down in the driveway as it only happens when actively driving. Any help to figure this out would be amazing as this noise is driving me crazy!

Welcome to TYF!

I'd probably start by using my fingers to remove the trim that surrounds the cluster and the radio. You'll need to tilt the steering wheel all the way down and put the shifter down as far as possible for the trim to clear. Set it aside. At that point you could do some wiggling, etc. or have someone else drive while you investigate.

Sounds good! I have tomorrow off so I’ll give that a go and update yall!

Hey everyone. Spent all of Sunday ripping the dash apart and could not locate the source. Anyone have other ideas?
