2006 Ford Focus Chirp Sign In

Hello out there, I'm having a problems with my 2006 Ford Focus ZX3 2.0L. It has a bit over 55k miles on it and recently it developed a chirp that sounds like it is coming from under the dash behind the steering wheel when the car goes over 55 mph or so. I would describe the chirp as a chirpy squeak, not gurgling at all.

I have no idea how to diagnose this problem, can't really pop the hood while speeding down the freeway. We live in Detroit, so we do lots of highway driving. Hoping that this isn't too big of a problem.

Thanks!

-Jon

That can be tough. It makes it way easier if you can duplicate in the bay.

I would see if you get the noise in park/neutral @ high rpm, if not I would try with the wheels in the air. Any of these tests you need to use extreme caution & care

Thanks for the advice, I don't think I'm up to putting the wheels up in the air spinning that fast, but I'll give it a go in neutral tomorrow.
