Flat60 Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 Hi, I was on a longer trip yesterday with my 94 Seville STS and after a while I noticed a quiet, but hearable clicking noise that seems to come from the lower left side of the dashboard (left of the steering column). It sounds like the clicking of a small relay and I could not find a pattern. Sometimes it clicks once in a minute, then two times in 20 seconds. It reminds me a bit of the bi-metal switch that controls our bathroom heater. It might stop driving me nuts as soon as I know what causes this sound... Kind regards, Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 Turn off the turn signal Marcus! Just kidding! Does any component stop working when this happens? For instance, if there is a short in the headlight circuit, the circuit breaker will flash the lights off and on.. Your description and diagnosis that it may be a bi-metalic circuit breaker is a good one. Check your fuse centers (glove box and under the hood and see if any breakers are getting hot or clicking) If I am not mistaken, the light switch has a breaker attached to it also. Check closely what is going off when you hear the click this is most probably a short circuit... Mike Early on sailors navigated by the stars at night and the North star became the symbol for finding ones way home. Once you know where the Northstar is you can point your ship in the right direction to get home. So the star became a symbol for finding ones way home or more symbolically even finding ones path in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flat60 Posted June 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 Hi Scotty, I do not use the turn signal anyway because it is broken - it goes on and off all the time In fact, the sound is somewhat similar to the signal clicking, just a bit more quiet. One tip I got so far is that it might be the heated seat (that I had actually used yesterday), but that kind of clicking seems to come a bit more from the seat itself. One other thing - related to the lights - is that my headlights & interior lights sometimes flicker a bit, i. e. the lights become a bit darker and brighter in very short intervals. I understand that this might be the same issue? Does anyone know where the light controle module is located (yes, I do need these shop manuals soon)?
