Hi there, the central locking isnt working on my 98 camry, with a ticking noise behind the glove box, that drains the battery, this ticking is similar to the central lock like its trying to central lock but it cant.

The fuse box is located behind the glove box. . The fuse panel cover is really just the back wall of your glove box. To remove this you need to open your glove box (remove any contents) and back side of the glove box has 2 quick release screws on the top of each corner. Once you take out this panel you will see a card on the back side of it. This is your fuse diagram.
Before touching the fuses I highly recommend unplugging your car battery in the trunk. Just taking off the negative terminal lead will be good enough.

What engine? Only the 1MZ V6 has this relay. On the 4-cyl, the fuel pump runs off the circuit opening relay, which is in relay block 6, behind the instrument cluster.

if it has auto air you have a bad actuator not rehoming

The adjustment on the linkage for a vent door,was off,and you corrected it.

It may be the heater blower fan. It is always on when the car is running. I'm pretty sure the blower is under/behind the glove box.
Does the ticking noise change when you speed-up or slow the fan speed? If so, there may be a leaf or something stuck in the fan blades. You might have to have the blower motor removed to get it cleaned out.
Hope this helps...

YOUR RELAY OR RELAYS COULD BE FAULTY.

When the armed Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) senses that the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, it enters its power-up mode. In the power-up mode the alarm system remains armed following a battery failure or disconnect. If the VTSS was armed prior to a battery disconnect or failure, the system will have to be actively or passively disarmed after the battery is reconnected. The alarm can be disarmed by locking the vehicle and turning the drivers door lock to the lock (arm) position. Wait a few minutes then unlock (disarm) the drivers door and the vehicle should start.
If the VTSS has been disabled in the high-line Central Timer Module (CTM), the VTSS feature must be re-enabled using the Chrysler DRB scan tool. The clicking you heard was probably from the CTM located behind the glove box.

hello the problem is the main electronic air intake flap in behind glove box,the gears become worn and start to tick,need to replace motor that turns flap.

hello, I had exactly the same on my 2000 focus. try and clean up the battery contacts in the fob. Mine works like new now!!

hi there

i had a major problem with my central locking. it would lock with my key but then wouldnt open. the only way i could get in the car was by manually oopeing the driver door but that still meant the the rest of the doors were locked. I managed to buy a relay from ebay and open up my general module . thats the white box thst sits behind uyour fuse box in the glove compartment. it a tricky job as the relays are soldered on and it took approx 30 mins to remove each and replace it.

I have had no problem since
