THIS HAS TO STOP!!! (weird clicking again)
Ever since i bought this car i have had a re-occuring problem. Sometimes when i shut of my car, something from my trunk makes a clicking sound and it makes the seatbelts move at slow intervals. The only way to stop it would be to turn my car on and open and close the door a certain number of times then turn it off and pray that it stopped. If it doesnt stop my battery is dead within hours. I think it may have something to do with the security system because if i re-program my keyless entry and play with the locks and turn the battery on and off a bit it stops. I really hate having to sit in my car for an extra 10 minutes trying to figure out the right combination of opening and closing doors and setting alarms just to keep my battery alive. If this has happened to anyone or if anyone knows the problem please let me know how to solve it. Thanks

Could your antenna be making the sound from the trunk, did you try to unplug it?

Isn't part of the security system bolted under the rear tray (between the rear speakers)?

Only on later models. The 92 and 93's have them behind the glovebox. Aside from the power antenna, there isnt' anything in the trunk which would make that noise.
If this is the same car described in the sig, then I'd check over the wiring to the amp and the amp itself. Drop the seatbacks and see if the location of the sound can be identified. KuoH Last edited by kuoh; 03-06-2005 at 08:36 AM.

There is a small box between the 2 rear speakers where the sound is coming from and if i disconnect it the clickin stops and the seatbelts stop moving, but my battery still drains. This started happening long before i had the amp installed. Whenever i reset the security system it sometimes stops but if i set my alarm the battery still dies within about 3 hours. I couldnt get it to stop at all so i just disconnected my neg battery terminal.

I have the same problem, only my seatbelts are "off" (non-automated) because the guy I bought the car from said his battery would drain like yours until he disconnected the seatbelt automation. No (working) security system either. But dang, that clicking is annoying. I'm always worried if I'm parked at an airport or something someone's going to get the wrong idea.
No ideas though, I've just been living with it for now.

I've not had to work on my seatbelts (yet
 ), but I'm wondering if it continues to click, if the limit switches are dirty and they system is trying to move the belts without realizing where they are positioned.As to battery drain....In the thread below Alan (Landshark) posts a good method of troubleshooting electrical problems. See the second post in the thread. http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/show...threadid=24573

Now that I think about it my seatbelts got confused once earlier this year but have yet to wig out since.
Didn't show any other signs of problems though. Only lasted a few seconds when I turned the key to stat the car, went away when it started.
