Passat (B5) :: 2002 GLS Will Not Start - Loud Clicking Sound When Ignition Turned On

I have a 2002 Passat GLS and when I tried to start my car this morning, it would not start. When I turn on the ignition, the car gives off a loud clicking sound. The interior and exterior light works, the panel light works, and the radio works as well. What might be the problem?

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: GS300 Rapid Loud Clicking Noise When Car Turned On And Engine Won't Start

I own a 2006 GS300 for 4 years and I have about 90k miles on it. Just suddenly today when I went to go turn the car on, I hear a rapid loud clicking noise and the engine will not start. I've done some googling and one possible solution is to disconnect the battery to let the car reset and then connect it back. What the cause is? I've replaced the spark plugs a few months ago, but I didn't replace the battery.

Passat (B5) :: 2002 GLX Won't Start - Clicking Noise When Key Turned

Just got back from the supermarket. Unloaded groceries and my Passat wouldn't start when I went to park it. Turned the key and it just makes a clicking noise - clock and trip odometer reset themselves also. If I turn the key the car just makes a clicking noise and the lights on the dash all flash on and off.
I am going to see if it starts after being jumped in a few minutes.

Other potentially useful info - I was testing a radar detector for work the other day and it has a battery voltage meter. It was reading in the 11.0 - 11.6 volt range. Is this too low - just wondering if the alternator was not supplying a sufficient charge. Not sure how accurate these are. The battery was changed around a year ago so I'm sure it's not the battery. I am assuming starter or alternator.

TrailBlazer :: 2002 - DRLs Stay On After Car Is Turned Off?

I have a 2002 Trailblazer and recently noticed that the DRLs stay on after the car is turned off. The also stay on when the headlight switch is set to "off". I replaced the headlight switch and that fixed the problem for about a day and now the DRLs stay on after the the car is off again. All of the head/tail/stop/bright/turn light functions work properly otherwise -- only the DRLs cannot be shut off. !

Honda - Accord :: 2002 - AC Making Loud Roaring Noise When Turned On Full Blast

I have a 2002 Honda Accord coupe with 130K miles on it. A few days ago the AC started to make a loud roaring noise when it is turned on full blast. As you turn it down the noise gets quieter and when the fan is on low the roaring noise stops. Other than making this sound it is running fine and there are no other issues/noises coming from the car. What is causing this noise?

Ford - Taurus :: 2002 - Small Leak Under Driver Side / Clicking Noise When Steering Wheel Turned

My 2002 Ford Taurus has 73,000 miles and was in good shape except for a small leak under driver's side. Has a new rack and pinion replaced one week ago. Have now noticed small leakage again. Also, when the steering wheel is turned it makes a clicking sound...almost like winding a clock. Rack and pinion replaced and alignment done. Why would it begin leaking again. This is a very comfortable car and has been maintained.

Chevrolet - Trailblazer :: Front Passenger Window Would Not Close / Got A Clicking Noise

I had an interesting ride home tonight. I accidentally lowered my front passenger window a little bit and when I tried to raise it I just got a clicking noise. So I drove along hitting the button, hoping the window would close, but it wouldn't. Then, the dash lights and head lights started pulsating/flickering. The engine power wasn't affected and the battery gauge wasn't moving. My vehicle is a 2002 Chevy Trailblazer with 173,0000 miles on it. Replaced the battery a few years back and have had no other electrical problems.

Santa FE SM (2001-06) :: 2002 - Clicking Noise From Passenger Side Rear Tire

I'm driving a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe with 83,000 miles on it.

Had it in the shop (dealer) a couple of weeks back for some work on the transmission. While there, I had the dealer perform the work for Recall 090 (corrosion of rear trailing arm). Since that time, there has been a clicking noise coming from what I believe to be the right rear wheel (it is definitely coming from the right [passenger] side). The noise sounds like metal rubbing up against metal, for lack of a better description. The noise is directly correlated to wheel rotation... the faster I drive the vehicle, the more frequently it occurs; the slower I drive, the less frequently it occurs.

The noise is very noticeable, and I am certain that it did not exist prior to my latest visit to the dealer. I am considering taking the vehicle to an independent mechanic this time, as the dealer repeatedly tells me that they aren't to blame, or I end up leaving the dealership with more problems than I arrived with.

Chevrolet - Trailblazer :: Switched From 2WD To 4AWD While In Park / Vehicle Making Loud Noise

Is it possible to cause damage to a vehicle (2003?? Chevy Trailblazer) with an on-the-fly 2WD to 4AWD system by switching to 4AWD when the vehicle is in park or otherwise not driving forward? This was done by someone and now the vehicle is making a loud noise.

Honda - Cr-v :: Loud Clicking In Right Wheel When Turned Hard At Slow Speeds / Parallel Parking

At 100k I took my 2004 CR-V in for belated 90k maintenance. Besides the routine stuff, they had to replace the ball joints. They also rotated and balanced the tires, which are about 15k miles old.

Took the car home, and immediately noticed a loud clicking in the right wheel when I turned it hard at slow speeds, parallel parking, etc. Took it back to the shop and was informed that it was a spindle problem. Mechanics said this was merely a coincidence, not a result of their recent work, but nicely charged me only for parts not labor. They had to replace the ABS sensor in the course of this work.

Next day, had to take a long weekend trip, about 500 miles there and back. Half-way through, noticed two things: groaning/clicking noise in brakes at slow speeds, and a slight but detectable vibration through the gas pedal when traveling 30-50MPH. Also a faint "wobble" sound at this speed as though coming from front right tire.

Took it back to the shop: was told that brake rotors were rusted and this was responsible for groaning/clicking--something to do with warping due to the rust + car getting warm from long drive. They lubed up the rotors real good and there is no more sound, though I've not driven it a long distance yet.

BUT, faint vibration in gas pedal and wobble noise at 30-50 persists. Mechanic said that when they rotated the tires, they noted that they had gone "out of round," but thought balancing might bring them back in round. Is it possible that the sound & vibration are just from the tires trying to find their level? Is this the kind of thing where I'm all of a sudden looking at 4 new tires (seems premature)? Any other front-end possibilities? Should I take it to a tire shop? I have found my mechanics pretty good over the past couple of years, but this recent series of visits has made me slightly leery...

When turning in both directions, front end makes a CHEEP-CHEEP-CHEEP-CHEEP-CHEEP sound. Frequency increases when speed increases.Brakes are NOT engaged when this happens. Goes away when coming out of turn.

I am sure the problems could be multiple, but what is your first thought? Not that it matters, but its a 2002 Chevy Trailblazer.

TrailBlazer :: Intermittent Whistling Noise Coming From Rear Driver Side

I get this intermittent whistling noise coming from the rear drivers side. Sounds like a coffee pot whistling on a stove. After I drive about ten or twelve miles it goes away and diminishes into a hissing noise. Is it possible the fuel pump is failing? I have a 2005 trailblazer with 105000 miles.

Cavalier :: 2004 - Clicking Noise When Heater Turned On

I've got a 2004 Cavalier and when the heater is turned on it makes a clicking noise (sounds like someone on a snare drum playing over and over again) You can feel it if you touch the bottom of the Heater/AC module on the passenger side of the car above your feet. It stops when you turn the heater control to the recirculation position.

My guess is it's the recirculation door actuator motor, but I can't find it through NAPA or any automotive parts online sites, what the Chevy part number is for this, and/or a parts blowup of the HVAC module? Also, the factory service manual I've got says that the entire HVAC unit needs to be drained of 134 and removed from the vehicle to replace this actuator, does it can be done without removing the entire unit? From the few pictures it shows of where the actuator is, that part appears to be near the top (that's why I'd like to see a parts blowup if possible).

Golf IV R32 :: Clicking Noise After Turn Signal Turned Off

So the other day driving to work i was driving my car to work, i put my turn signal on and after i turn it off it still kept doing the clicking noise. At first i thought i was just hearing stuff cause it was early and i was tired, so after work i checked it out again i sure enough it was doing it. It even does it sometimes without even first putting the turn signal on. My buddy and i thought it was a relay or a fuse. Is that right?

Golf V R32 :: Loud Noise When Turned To The Right On Highway

I had the wheel bearings replaced at my 5000 mile oil change. The noise is still there. Rotors warped, axle bearings, it gets louder when I turned to the right on the highway and gets quieter when I turn left (classic wheel bearing sound).
