"Ticking" sound behind dash

I have a '95 GLE and I'm hearing a "ticking" sound behind the dash (gauges). This happens when the car is in motion. It is most noticeable at lower speeds. It seems to come from the left of the center of the dash. Suggestions on cause and remedy?

Thanks.....

my friend's '02 pathfinder had the same noise problem. He did not get an oil change for 7,000 miles.. he had to get an engine flush and had to put in new oil.
"something" was fried due to old oil.
that could be the problem.. i dunno about your situation. how often do you get an oil change?

do you have a digital odometer?
if not it may be that, check to see if ther numbers are moving correctly.

thats the only thing i can think of thats moving behind the gauges.

Hey, I read before that ticking is caused by a dirty IAC valve. There is info in the Howto sticky on how to clean it(similar to TB cleaning i think). See if that helps your problem. Might want to wait for better weather to do it though.

"A Lesson on the Accent of Jamaican Patois

Jamaicans often drop the h's (thus 'ouse' instead of house) and add them in unexpected places (e.g., 'hemphasize'). Many don't pronounce 'th' and also drop the 'h'; so you hear t'ree for three and t'anks for thanks. The is usually pronounced as de and them as dem. They also sometimes drop the w, as in ooman (woman)."



If this forum was made up of mainly Jamaicans whom spoke Patois, who would like it if you were scolded for using "proper" English?

You're right, and I can't help with the ticking noise. I can say that I opened this thread because I have heard a ticking noise in my dash before too.
