I've had this problem for a while but I can't seem to figure out what's causing it. Basically the same clicking you hear when having a turn signal on is constantly clicking almost all the time; infrequently but almost always. There doesn't seem to be any kind of a pattern to it. It sometimes might go away for a day or two but for the most part the clicking is infrequent but there constantly. It doesn't matter if I'm speeding up or slowing down, turning or even at a complete stop.

So basically I have an extremely annoying clicking sound that seems to be coming from the same area as the area that the turn signal clicking noise comes from and it sounds the same as that.

It doesn't seem to be causing any physical problems other than driving me crazy. This has been going on for well over 6 months now. Has anybody ever heard of this and/or have any suggestions or solutions?

Someone just has to climb under the dash and follow the noise to it's source. It's probably a relay for something but that needs to be determined.

Ya - HT - probably a relay. While actively doing it you should be able to find it or even feel it. Some are well hidden and seems all under dash was done that way to frustrate everyoneMad

Oddly enough, I had the same issue in the shop the other day, turned out to be hazard switch. I know the older olds and pontiacs had a tsb on this, just never seen it in a malibu.
