Lexus SC430 :: 2002 - Noise From Dash Area When Turning Key Before Starting Engine
Got an '02 here. This noise started to appear recently. When I turn the key to put electricity on (without starting the car), I hear this electric motor-like sound, similar to power window sound, coming thru the dash area, and it can also be heard outside the car coming from somewhere in or near the engine compartment or in front of the dash/windshield area. Could this be one of the servo that operates the AC vents? or its something else?

My 2000 jetta won't start. Lights, beeping, everything else happens when I put the key in, but nothing happens when I try to start it. I don't hear any noise coming from the engine, i.e. clicking, etc. I can push start it and it works fine.
View 6 RepliesPrius C :: Acceleration From Stop With Electric Engine / Clicking Noise
My Prius C II is at a little over 6,000 miles. I've noticed when I'm accelerating from a stop using the electric engine, that at around 11-15mph I hear a clicking noise coming from the left hand (driver) side of the vehicle.
To hear the sound my windows have to be down and my stereo not playing.
Is this clicking sound while accelerating normal? I know there's a clicking sound that happens when I start my car and when my car sits after parking for a second but this clicking noise sounds like its coming from the front left hand side... not inside the cabin.
Elantra XD (2001-06) :: 2004 - Electric Is Off Sometimes When Starting The Car
I seem to have an electrical issue on my 2004 Hyundai Elantra. When I attempt to start the car, at random times I find that all electricity is off, preventing my car from starting. My brakes and steering wheel also seem to lock up when this happens. I have no clue what might be causing the issue or how to fix it.
I had roadside assistance run a diagnostic tonight after being stranded and my battery and starter are completely fine. I thought maybe this would have been caused by my custom stereo possibly draining the battery, but that has been installed in my car since I got it and has never given me any trouble. I've double and triple checked that my subwoofer and amplifier turn off when my car does so they won't drain my battery.
As an example, tonight I unlocked my driver side door manually, then unlocked the other doors with the button on the door. Electricity was fine there since all doors unlocked. However, when I would attempt to start the car, the electricity would be turned off: no dashboard lights, headlights, car locks, etc. One time this happened when I stopped for gas and had to be towed only to find out that my car turned on without problems once it was dropped off at my house!

View 6 RepliesFord F-150 - 1997-2003 :: 2001 - Engine Is Turning Over But Starting Intermittently
The past week or 2 I have had an intermittent starting problem. Engine is turning over but wont start, but after i wait a second it will start up. I listened to see if the fuel pump was running and heard the whine. I checked the battery and the starter voltage and it was all good. i primed the fuel pump a couple of times and it started up on the first crank of the ignition. The truck runs great when driving and idling, no misses or loss of power that i have felt or heard yet. I am thinking it is either the fuel pump is starting to go or maybe the fuel filter is getting a little clogged up. Like i said up above this is an intermittent problem and that is why I am confused. Its a 2001 F150 4.6 4X4 ....
View 1 RepliesFord - Explorer :: 2002 XLT - Grinding Noise Only Noticeable When Starting Out From A Full Stop And Turning
Grinding feeling, and noise from rear of 02 explorer xlt. only noticed when starting out from a full stop and turning. It feels like something is grabbing like the rear brakes. I purchased this suv of a local dealer lot, because it was so clean and on a short test run seamed fine.
The day after I picked it up I took it for a shakedown cruise to see if I noticed any problems. After going up a few forward grades I noticed a disturbing rattling noise coming from mid under carriage, and got very worried. I immediately took it to a local well revered mechanic. They eventually had it for 4 days in order to diagnose it. After the dealer had done the inspection on the car and passed it, that all rotors and pads needed to be replaced, left front wheel was locked up, inspection sticker month was never punched, both front tires were bad and either the flex plate or tork converter or both needed to be replaced. I took it back to the dealer with the report and he agreed to fix it with me paying for parts. He did and the rattle was gone !
Yet now I have noticed the problem mentioned at the beginning of this piece, plus the rear wiper does not work. I think I got taken for a ride, which may become a longer ride than I thought. All I want is a reliable car. what could that rear noise be ???
IS F (2008-2014) :: Electric Power Steering Failure When Starting The Car
Electric power steering failing when starting the car and driving right away without warming it up?
My 2009 ISF has recently started doing this occasionally. It was when I started the car for the first time of the day, and pulled away within 10 seconds or so. When I let it "warm up" for a minute I have not had it happen.
But the thing is, I've had the car for a few months and have never had this happen until now. My mechanic plugged it in to the computer and there are no codes up, or in the history.
Civic - Honda :: 1999 - Blipping Ignition / Turning Over Engine Before Starting Up On Cold Mornings?
On cold mornings here in California, like most older cars with high mileage, it makes some ticking/valve sounds until I fully warm up my car after a mile or two of driving. At that point, the sounds disappear.
I've noticed that if I blip the ignition or turn over the engine without starting the car, when starting up on cold mornings, it doesn't make valve lash noise or ticking when I pull out of the garage.
I chalk it up to the fact that I "threw" some oil on top the head before starting up the engine fully. I've only done this maybe 5 times since I found out.
Car: 99 Civic w/ 217k+ miles.

View 14 RepliesGolf VI R :: Turns Off While Turning Off The Engine?
Is it possible to keep the stereo on when turning off the engine with Kessy? There are usecases where turning off the stereo with the engine is not necessarily the right thing to do.
I was able to control this in all previous cars by leaving the key in the ignition, stereo would go off when pulling the key out.
How does one accomplish this with Kessy?

View 9 RepliesGolf IV R32 :: Front End Noise When Started Turning Right
Today when I took my car out as I was turning in the parking lot I started turning right and all the sudden a heard a huge pop from the right front end. It almost sounded like I had ran over something and kicked it up to the fender but I was only going like 3mph. I stopped in a parking spot and when I turned it to the left it made another pop but not as loud.
I looked under at the suspension and didn't see anything visibly loose so I kept going. Now when driving and I hit a small bump I hear a little rattle from the right front. There was no symptoms leading up to this, it was just sitting there and it did it the first thing as I was leaving today, the front end wasn't rattling at all before.
The sound it makes sounds like a spring being released so I was thinking it might have been the strut bearing or maybe the strut is just bad. I haven't actually had to work on the suspension for the .:R so its all new to me.
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Popping Noise When Turning Right?
For the last few thousand miles my 99.5 jetta has been making a popping noise (many pops, not just one) only when turning right under acceleration. (No noise when coasting or decelerating in gear and turning right, no noise under any circumstances). no pulsing in the brakes, and the car appears aligned well as it tracks nicely.
The noise is rotational, the faster you go, the faster the pops happen (again, it will make many popping noises, not just one). Probably once per revolution on the tires, not entirely sure. And it is, with as much certainty as i can have, coming from the front passenger side of the car.
I took it into the mechanic twice, first time they couldn't hear it and sent it back. Second time they said it was likely the CV joint so replaced both on the passenger side.
I have to admit that I didnt notice the noise for about 300 miled after that service, and I did try to get it ot happen. but its back now.
All boots and ball joints look ok and no grease has slung out. I am thinking it might be a wheel bearing at the extremely early stages of going.
Right now i am on a "wait and see if it gets worse " course. For the last 1500 or so miles it has not seemed to have changed.
