Tick Tick Tick
A quiet ticking sound has developed in my '95
It is not related to revs. It seems to be coming from the area behind the gearstick/radio. I first noticed it via radio interference. It ticks about 4 times a second, and continues with the motor off but ignition on. It is no more obvious from the engine bay side than inside the car. My mechanic could offer no suggestions. Anyone got any ideas? regards DonMac |

Also could indicate a bad coil, though when engine is off you would think it would not be making any more noise. |

Re: Tick Tick Tick
When you say gear shift/radio I presume you mean it's not coming over the speakers.

Re: Tick Tick Tick
Not a mechanic, but to me it sounds like a failing relay of some sort. I have no idea what would be in that area, but presumably it would affect some electrical system. Any other weird effects noted, perhaps sunroof operation or interior lighting?
Truly a shot in the dark. If you find a cause and a fix, please post your story. Owen

Re: Tick Tick Tick
Something stuck in the a/c heater fan? maple seed, pine needle etc.

Re: Tick Tick Tick
The a/c heater fan is located on the far right side of the vehicle, above the passenger feet.
