Clicking Sound In Dashboard

[_MRR33]

Hey,

I have this clicking sound coming from (sounds like it) from the dashboard it only happends for about 5-10 seconds once the car is turned on or on reds.

I've been told it is one of the relays, if so how would I go about fixing it?

mate there was a thread bout this 3 months ago, but anyway it's air con/fan speed related, the part in question is the blend door actuator, it's a dash out job, part cost me 90 odd bucks and did it myself when i pulled the dash out 4 painting or quoted 600 odd by auto elecy 4 the job cheers

[heslo]

Exactly what teamplasma said, had it in my old R33, that's what caused it and that's how I fixed it

[_MRR33]

Err, its so annoying problem after problem Trying to get the car problem free!

Thanks for your help though.

[_MRR33]

Is it hard to fix? Pulling the dash out and replacing the blend door actuator?

Hey i have this exact problem in mine!! Either when turn reds on or sometimes when already running and turn air con on. Very annoying....So yeah, after the same info as midnightracer

Fark!! Looks like a nightmare with everthing off. Not as helpful as i would of liked. I know how to undo most parts, as i installed my system n shit. Where exactly is this 'blend door acutator', and what does it look like? Cheers.....

Nightmare to say the least, what Mr33 said, where exactly would it be? When I took it to my local performance shop they said "ahh, don't worry its only a relay" ..Mmm this makes me confused.

[siddr20]

A relay?

It should be a like a little white circle teeth grooved clock lookin thingy hahahh.

I think that round thing gets stuck as it turns..

I think security (member on here) with the yellow r33 did it a while back. Hopefully he replies in this thread.

Otherwise just leave it. Nothing will happen. But does get annoying after a while eh??

[MR 33]

Yeah def annoying, but is it actually NOT doing something while it's 'broken'?? $90 seems bloody expensive, where can ya get this part?? Ya sure that's what its called, i don't wanna sound like a dick at the shops! lol

[siddr20]

pm SCURITY or however you spell his username..

IM pretty sure hes done it.

Or search for some threads related to this topic. It has been done before.

i got the part second hand from the wreckers, the one down gold coast way, rolin imports i think

thats the tecknical name for it used by auto elecys, the wrecker really had no idea what i was talking bout so i went through thier shit and found it

It's actually not that bad of a job, you don't need to take the heater box out, just the dash out of hte way, getting the heaterbox out was a bitch when i had to do my heatercore.....

Goodluck.

[siddr20]

So you open that black box, and replace the part inside? what exactly is it?

is it what i described above?

[MR 33]

teamplasma, did you grab the whole black box or just the thing inside?

ferni, hey cheers for that! That's the pic i was after. Yeah like siddr20 said, do ya replace the whole box or what's inside? Thanks guys......

yer the black box thats bout the size of a pack of cards, just replace the whole unit, it'e easier

[phee]

I can't believe noone said "it's the indicator"

[mid life crisis]

it;s actually called the blend door actuator and it is a bit of a bugga of a job but i replaced mine when i was doing the heater core i paid 40 bucks for one of a member who was wrecking a r33

[MR 33]

teamplasma, ah k cool. Hopefully that's what the clickin is coz it sounds more 'electronic' then something getting stopped or something, i dunno haha. Will see how i go....
