FBFsussex Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 any ideas what it might be? it stops when i stop the car to try and find out where its coming from. sounds almost electrical like a short or something. or imagine a dry leaf stuck in one of the blowers. is there anything under the glove box area that would do this? turning of the climate control makes no diffrence so im confident its not blower related.

Joylove Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 The little motors that move the heater air around sometimes strip their gears. When you turn it off they try to close then periodically try to close again. Try turning on the climate and adjusting the seting for the air direction manually. Not much help I know, but it's an easy test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FBFsussex Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 JL, no joy with that. i notice there is a relay under there the noise could certainly be an intermittent relay switch. does anyone know what that relay does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botang Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 There are loads of relays in the passenger footwell, remove the floor mats and then remove the wodden cover and all will be revealled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FBFsussex Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 right thats got to be the problem then. its stopped doing it now but it should be a simple enough fix when i find the culprit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16drb Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Hi I've got the same problem (ticking noise). I agree with JoyLove; i've sussed out that it is the climate control. If I over-ride "auto" and turn-off driver's footwell airflow then "tickig" stops; so ut must be the gear clicking. Is it any east (relatively cheap) job repair ?
