There's a strange loud clicking sound like a snapping plastic sound (that's best I can describe it) coming from either the air con control panel or behind the centre console (not sure).It's quite loud.

It does about 5 clicks in about 2 seconds usually, sometimes 4.

It did it once or twice when I first got it but today it was doing it near enough all the time, sometimes stopping for a while to lul me into thinking it had gone, only to return & see how mad it could get me.

The only thing I can think of that might bear any conection to it is that my stereo has started cutting out recently but I think it's just a lose connection. The stereo didn't used to do this last time I heard the clicks.

Also, last time there were only 1 or 2 clicks a time & it didn't last long.

Found them fillters Mr Duff, after much coughing. :D

If its a J spec with a foglight coversion, you may find that a relay has been screwed onto the stereo cage, if the relay plays up it can cause the stereo to trip off.

 

Mine used to do this, on a sony headunit, so i ripped out the relay and rewired the foglight so there is no relay attached to the cage.

Cheers b19rks, sounds like you could be right there 'cause my fog(which has been put in the back lights) doesn't work.
