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.....

 

probably left ur watch under da hood

 

!!!!!!!!!!

 

Check out hte TSB sticky and look at hte one for interior rattles, there are 2 of them I think under interior that have something to do with it.

 

o ma bad i taut it was da watch.

 

god! 2 da max learn how to talk. quit the ebonics crap. you have been on the forums for like 2 days and ever thread you type like a moron. I do not mean to bash but it is rather annoying

 

Also check out the TSB for the rattling power brake booster check valve.

 

sorry bout dat, dat goes to show u how good public skools r fa kids.

 

When I have my ac/heater fan on I hear a clicking, and it's kinda annoying. But not too bad.

 

Stop typing like that. One of the moderators WILL BAN YOU.

 

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.

 

Actually it might be the little japanese guy in there that installs the clocks at the end of the assembley line...........might wanna let him out.

 

lolllllll that's why you should open up ya hood every so often, you mite not know wat the hell is under there.

 

i hear the same ticking when i turn down my radio, and when im at a stop or really low speeds. Im not sure what it is, but it does get annoying...especially if youre with your girl and you have the music down and you hear that non stop ticking

 

yah, i hate when people type like that. all dat shizinit crap. i listen to rap, but im not a wanksta lol.

 

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?

 

we needed help with the ticking sound behind the dash, not a lesson on jamaican language

 

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.

 

lollllllllllllll wa da rass u a talk bout bai

 

yeah, that made a lot of sense
