I think Yom fixed this one also..
But it had only recently started happening in blue monster.
Symptoms: Super lous clapping vibrating resonating rattle coming from the rear centre stop light up on the rear window..
Solution: Undo 2 screws and remove the plastic cover.
Then find the long plastic lever in there which is designed to hold the bulb unit in place. Over time, its like the long plastic lever has lost some tension and it now slaps around in this spot where its meant to be tightly clipped in. Slaps around so freely that you could easily see how any vibrations would make it slap and shake.
Had some mega handy adhesive foam padding strip lying around that I got from clark rubber recently. Cut off a tiny slither about 5mm wide and 1cm long. Removed the long plastic lever, then stuck the adhesive strip in against the flat wall that the lever rests upon loosely. Then put the lever back in place. Now the lever firmly rests upon the foam padding and has ZERO movement. Can't even make it vibrate.
Tested OK: started the car back up. Drove up and down the driveway at low revs which used to make the thing shake terribly, now its all gone 100% NOTHING! Allright!
