Clicking noise only when i turn on the lights - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Srekal006 · 07-29-2015, 04:52 PM

Has anyone experienced this?....whenever i turn on the lights, there is a clicking noise coming from the front passenger side, it sounds like its coming from a metal heat-sink looking thing right next to the radiator, right behind the fog light housing
(2014 scion) - Started after I installed IJDMToy turn signal lights (with light bar) .....i had dual color side markers wired up before and didnt have this problem.

hopefully- im keeping an eye on it, but i would sleep much easier if I knew it was normal :\

To me I would say normal. It only clicks once and it is fairly faint click right?

Srekal006 · 07-29-2015, 04:59 PM

constant clicking- loud enough for me to notice it?....

Oh, I thought it only clicked once. If it keeps clicking that sounds like a problem. Take the signals out and try it again see if the noise goes away

Srekal006 · 07-29-2015, 05:03 PM

yeah, might have to and see if its still there

go_a_way1 · 07-29-2015, 05:04 PM

Keep us posted. I hope someone else can chime in that has more knowledge on this kind of thing then me.

Srekal006 · 07-29-2015, 05:06 PM

as of right now, it looks like it was just a loose wire...i noticed my driver side headlight's turn signal LED strip wasnt working...so i looked around, re-arranged the wires....and now it works and there is no noise.....so hopefully it was an easy fix

, we'll see, im still keeping an eye on it
