Noisey 4wd Relay S2 Stagea Rs4s

[mgold]

gday guys, my series 2 RS4S stagea has had a "click click" noise coming from behind the dash. It happens every 30 seconds or so. It used to be rarely now is all the time. All the 4wd system works. I pin pointed the noise to a small black relay above an orange/brown relay near the brake booster. I disconnected it and the noise stopped but the 4wd light on dash came on. Drove around the block and it had no 4wd. Plug it back in and its fine just the most annoying relay clicking noise.

Does anyone know what it does and if they normally make this noise. I believe it to be on its way out as the relay noise has been becoming more and more constant. Does anyone know a part number or anything so i can chase down a new one. Cheers any help much appreciated.

A search would answer your question. This has been covered in depth now.

It is the ATESSA accumulator causing the relay to click. A second hand accumulator in good nick will fix it or follow the advice of the relevant thread and send yours out to be reconditioned.
