#1: Strange ticking noise Author: az87aris, Location: Doncaster UKPosted: Sun Aug 14, 2011 3:22 pm ---- Hi all, I'm sorry if this has been asked/answered before, I couldn't find anything while searching.
For the last month or so I have noticed a ticking/clicking noise when opening the drivers door after the car has been parked for a while (ie overnight). The noise seems to be coming from the drivers footwell or behind the dash, but it doesn't last long enough for me to really identify it's location and strangely it only does it the once when the car has been parked, opening and closing the door after this there is no noise.
It only makes this noise for a few seconds and the car starts/drives fine, this noise could be completely normal and there be no problems but it is really starting to drive me mad wondering what the hell it could be.
I don't really know how to describe the noise, it's the same sort of noise my punto used to make near the HU when trying to start the car when the battery was flat.
Has anyone here had this and knows what it could be?
Many thanks!

try taking off the fuse box cover and do what you do to make it click or tick and see if you can trance it that way?

I will have a look at the relays though and see what I find. Thanks
