Hi, I have a 2005 Limited. About 1 month ago I started noticing a very odd sound in the middle dome light assembly.

As with any 4th gen, when you turn off the ignition and then open the door latch to exit the vehicle the interior lights illuminate. However, when the light illuminates it is making a weird sort of "spring" like sound. Lasts for about 1 to 2 seconds.

Let me try to describe the sound:

If you took a small spring, held one end with your hand and plucked the other end with your other hand. You know those door stops with the rubber nub on the end that we played with as kids? Kind of like a muted version of that. It isn't all that loud but it's definitely noticeable.

Anyway, not sure if anyone else has experienced this and if there are any known causes/solutions to rectify. I haven't taken it apart yet because both bulbs are functioning fine it is just making this weird noise (and only when it illuminates)...

Thanks for reading and posting any ideas you may have.

Apologies if my answer is out there in another forum. I did a search and came up with zero results.
