Hi All,

Wondering if anyone can help troubleshoot a relay clicking sound coming from the driver side door and under the steering wheel area. I'm pretty sure it's coming from the fuse box. The odd thing is that everything still works (locks, windows, lights, and etc) and it only starts to click at about 50 MPH. The clicking gets more rapid when the speed approaches 70-80 MPH. And the clicking stops below 50 MPH or so.

I took it to the dealer and they said that they found a nail on the front tire

I told that it can't be because it's definitely a relay clicking sound that only happens at above 50 mph. His responses was, "We can't go above 50 mph in this area." After leaving my car there the whole day and spending $1000 for a spark plug change, oil change, and brake fluid change... I left there with no solution to the main reason that I went there in the first place.

Anway, I'm totally stumped. What can cause the relay to click at high speed? Revving the engine while parked doesn't make it happen. It even happens when just coasting above 50.

Has anyone experienced this before or know what it could be?

Thanks!
