WHITLING down problems with the X

I'm getting close to getting the Excursion in total perfect running condition, with these exceptions: The auto darkening rear view mirror doesn't work. It has the green power light on but it does not darken, also it has a blue oval right in the middle of the mirror, like the LCD is messed up. Next on the list is under carriage rattling. It sound s like the hub caps are coming off, but their tight, When I go over a bump first the front rattles then the rear wheels hit the bump and the rattle happens again. Shocks are OE with 99k on them, Wheel bearings are good. Rubber bushings look ok. Any ideas?

The rattle sounds like a shield for the one of the cats.
