Re: clicking sound

I know the securety module is behind the glove box on certain years but can't think of which. I would guess that's what it is.

Re: clicking sound

Yeah mine did this when I was setting my electric key fob(Keyless entry). It clicked a lot.. Maybe something wrong with your security system? Try messing with the button a bit.


As for the airbag thing, some of them had passenger air bags and some did not, not all.

Yes, thats what I'm saying. I believe they moved the security modules to a different place on the ones with the passenger air bag
again, not 100% certain...
