I want to know is all Saturn's make clanking noises on the top of the dashboard? I go usually two days without driving the vehicle and parked in side the garage. So please tell me why the top of the dashboard does clanking noises?

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

When do you hear the noise? Is it while driving or after it is parked?

Let me know. Also, if it is a ticking noise you hear, it could be a blend or mode door actuator. They commonly go bad and create a ticking. Take a look at this link to see if it is describing what you hear.

Let me know.
