2004 mazda 3 sedan

So i go over a bump yesterday because Lawrence rd sucks ass, but thats beside the point. after going over it theres this annoying rattling sound coming from the rear driver side area..almost like its from the top..above the jack..but its not the jack i took it out and its still there..almost like something is loose and rattling..any ideas?

Just blurting things out

- check your rear bulbs. Maybe one was loose and the bump knocked it out of the socket

- Pull the spare tire out and see if anything is loose.

- Follow the wiring harness

You can also try popping open the trunk and start knocking on the panels to replicate the bumps and see if you can find where the noise is really coming from

Pull the liner down. Maybe a clip holding the antenna wiring

Sorry. I think I read it too fast and didn't know that you knew where exactly it was coming from

Don't mind me. On my 4th Corona LOL
