Jeep® Wagoneer S Door Rattle SOLVED (It’s Not the Speaker)

If you’re hearing an annoying buzzing or rattle coming from the front door speaker of your new Jeep® Wagoneer S, you’re not alone. According to Mopar-certified technician Jordan Rose (@MoparTechJordan), this has become a known issue on several earlier-production Wagoneer S models.

In fact, Stellantis has already made three different revisions to the front door panel to address the problem, going from part number 7LF171X7AA to 7LF171X7AC in just a few months. Clearly, they’re trying to get it right.

What’s Causing the Rattle? – 

While most people might assume the speaker itself is bad, Jordan explains that the issue actually stems from the door panel’s construction and fitment. Vibrations from the speaker can cause the panel to buzz or rattle at certain frequencies, especially at higher volume levels.

In his latest video, Jordan walks viewers through the proper steps to diagnose the issue, making sure it’s not an electrical or speaker failure, and then shows how to confirm that the noise is coming from the panel itself.

Step-by-Step Diagnosis and Repair – 

Jordan demonstrates how to remove the door panel safely, without breaking clips or damaging the wiring harness, which is especially important on EV models like the Wagoneer S. Once off, he pinpoints the problem area and shares how to confirm the repair once it’s complete.

He also provides a smart temporary workaround, originally shared by fellow tech and YouTuber Tyler Potter (@TylerPotter), which can help quiet the rattle while waiting on the updated part to come in, especially useful with current supply chain delays.

Important Notes for EV Owners – 

Jordan is quick to remind viewers that these repairs should only be handled by trained service technicians. EVs come with high-voltage systems that can be dangerous if not properly handled. While the speaker rattle doesn’t involve high-voltage components, removing panels and working around wiring still requires care.

If you’re hearing similar noises in your Wagoneer S, it’s worth checking with your local Jeep dealer and referencing the latest part number. However, these vehicles should still be covered under their factory warranty. This way, you’ll know what to ask for and what to expect from the repair.

Why Jordan’s Videos Matter – 

Jordan’s YouTube channel continues to be one of the most valuable tools for real-world Mopar diagnostics and repairs. As one of the few factory-trained technicians sharing firsthand knowledge from the service bay, his content helps educate both owners and other techs about emerging issues with newer Stellantis models, especially as the industry shifts toward electrification.
