Not sure what's doing this, but it could be the headlight relay. Pull out the headlight switch and have a look at it - they had a tendency to burn the terminals and short. Ford had a recall on these - I don't know if they are still honoring it.

SOURCE: Clicking noise coming from under

You have a blend door motor that bad. The clicking noise is probably the motor turing and grinding the gears...Prob should take too a shop for a diag to be sure...Some of them things are pretty hard to get to

SOURCE: headlights flicker all the time

Hi, my name is ricky and im 24 yrs old and from Bronx, N.Y . I bought my 03 impala in 04 and i had the same problem in 2007 in which that clicking noise happens. The headlights flicker, and even the gauges inside the car would flicker at times. It has nothing to do with fuses or a relay, please dont spend money on that b.s. like i did..lol I will try my best to explain what i did so that you can save some money and time. READ EVERYTHING AND USE ADVICE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
1st of all - I went to a junk yard/auto salvage yard to find a USED part that i needed. Often there are good parts from cars that have been totalled.
2nd- What i asked for was a Body Control Module. This controls most of the electric issues you are having and costed me about 50 dollars compared to a new one that was over $200 and reached up to $500.
3rd- I went head first under the steering column and found where the BCM was located. Poke around to find it cause it is def. there, hidden well. It doesnt take special skill to remove it or find it.
4th-Replace the BCM, but be advised that after you do this, your car might not crank over.My car did crank over because i installed a automatic starter previously so i could have started it with the remote start.
5th- you MUST take the car to a chevy shop so they can Program your car to the body control module this costed me about $250.
All together this information has to help you in someway.
If you have further questions or would like to make a comment, then e-mail me at " [email protected] "
I hope this helps...im not saying it is a 100 percent guarantee for you, but i had this same problem recently and this was the answer to my problem. By the way, never buy a american car again or a GM product for that matter...Kudos

SOURCE: problem with annoying clicking noise

I dont know if it works the same, but I drive a 2006 Mitsu Lancer Ralliart. When you push the recirc air button, a little motor closes a little gate that blocks outside air and pulls the air from the interior instead. The blower motor is located behind the glovebox. It is secured by a couple screws.
I guess its possible that a foreign object such as a leaf or something is touching the blower motor and causing the noise.

Pass Side Window Malfunction

Very unusual issue. Sounds as if you may have a wiring section frayed or almost broken. This usually happens in the area which flexes in the hinge area on the driver's door, as the driver's door sees the most use. I know the issue is with the passenger side window, but remember that the hot wire for that window runs first thru the driver's master switch.

What causes a clicking sound when the turn signal is not turned on

Likely a bad combination switch. If you jiggle the turn signal arm lightly and you hear clicking coming from the glove box area, then you need new combination switch.

When i start my 2001 civic lx there is a clicking sound coming from the passenger side dash and engine light goes on and off. after it stops the car doesn't run right.

Check engine light usually means a problem with the
emissions control system. At any rate Honda is your
best bet. They will have to hook up and look for fault
codes. Clicking sound could be a relay.

I am only getting heat on the passenger side vents. Even when i have the heat on my windshield, it only comes out the right side of the vent. Also, if the setting is on the feet it only puts out heat on...

Sounds like your heater blend door is not opening and closing fully. Listen closely when you move your heater position switch for any sound coming from under your dash board. You should hear it moving. If you can't hear it try locating your blend door under the dash or behind the glove box. Hopefully this will be a easy fix for you.
Good luck and thanks for your question and I hope my suggestions help. Don't forget to rate me.

Clicking coming from rear right panel in 2003 Lincoln Navigator.

it sounds like you have a door ajar switch issue if it says "door open" when it's not. Is it clicking in the passenger rear door or in the storage area behind the rear seat behind the right trim panel?
The liftgate wiring may be back there.
Your door lock & unlock relays are in the vehicle security module which is under the center area of instrument panel.
I looked at the wirng diagram and don't see too much back there.
Let me know what you find on where the clicking is coming from.
We'll go from there

Clicking under dash

Turn the fresh air/ recycled air switch on and off and see if it goes away. Most likely it's that controller.
