Default New problem...

2 weeks ago it was my A/C that started making clicking and rumbling noises...


Now today i turned on the rear defroster and heard a click behind the passenger seat, repeated it a few times and there was a click everytime.


this is starting to **** me off.

Mine clicks too, I'm guessing it's normal, probably some relay kicking in.

I guess take it to the dealer....

Default who cares

most cars do that, unless they've been specifically designed so the relays and electronics are nowhere close to the compartment. it's the sound the switch makes when something is turned on/off.
i personally like a little click like that, sorta a nice confirmation that it's actually working or something is happening. dude if you're worried about a small click like that, you really need to have something serious go wrong. dont worry about it

yeah wow, thats pretty nitpicky... what was your last car, if you cant handle a tiny "click" when you turn your defroster on...

owell, I guess you just have high expectations, dont expect them to do anything about it tho...

Maybe it didn't bother me since my trans was always grinding... The clicking from my seat bothered me since its not suppost to do that, but I fixed it. Like the other guy said. I like hearing the relay turning on, its telling you it works.. I'll take it to the dealer the day I don't hear it anymore.... Good Luck
