windshield wiper clicking

mineo77 · 02-03-2010, 02:44 PM

Just noticed this a few days ago that there is a audible click in the glove box (the fuse) whenever my wipers are activated. Wasnt doing this before..what is this? any fixes?

There's a relay in there that activates / deactivates the Wipers. No fix its just the relay doing its job =)
Kind of annoying though right? Especially on a 40k car....

Mine always did this.

I only notice it on intermittent and I don't have the sound system on. It is annoying though. Passengers complain about how loud the turn signal relay is. I don't mind it at all.

I dunno if I am too sensitive or what... I feel the click (on auto...) on the brake pedal when I am on the brake waiting to turn left... anyone had that?

Relays clicking are normal I wouldnt worry about it. I have had passengers complain about how loud the turn signal is too but that does not bother me.
