Hi all,
While I have been driving, I have been hearing an intermittent relay
clicking sound - just a single on-off, with no real pattern to it.
Sometimes it happens a couple of times a minute, other times I can go
half an hour without it occuring. From the location of the sound, it
appears to be the turn/seatbelt relay, but from what I can tell,
nothing actually happens. Any ideas?
Does anyone know what else runs off the turning relay? Alternatively,
could anyone think of anything else that this could be (my only other
guess is something related to the altenator when the battery reaches
full charge). The clicking may always have been there, but its sound
may have been masked by the sound of the fan (read on...).
The only other weird thing happening with the car is that the fan
stopped working a couple of months ago (just before we got to the
Australian summer!). I still haven't had a chance to look at it (to
be honest I don't even know where the fan motor is yet - I am guessing
behind the glovebox) but it was initially an intermittent problem that
was fixed by giving the centre console a good hard whack (actually,
that is how it started - I was giving the centre console a whack to
get the radio to work properly and it stopped). If anyone can give me
an idea of which way to follow the wiring through I would be grateful.
Also, is there a trick to pulling the centre console apart? The
plastic is starting to get a bit brittle so I don't want to try and
force things too much.
Thanks in advance,
Robmash
