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,
