Ok sounds weird I was sitting in driveway and notice my front window was dirty so I cleaned it , proceeded to do rear window . I could hear motor but couldnt see water , tried again and no luck , i got a pin and checked for a blockage and tried again ... Fail. Then I see massive puddle under car WTF!!? open boot and it's flooded with water ? I dried it up and decided not to use rear wiper again , until I had to move car for dad to get his car out and I have ABS , ALSD 4WD lights on constant now . Checked where ecu is in boot and it's flooded!! Have I just f**ked my ecu!

i dont know what the click would be, i dont think it would be coming from one of the computers unless theres a short there..if it was me id be getting an auto electrician or someone who can try and identify the faults in it, might save yourself alot of heartache

Problem fixed , water from rear wiper jet leaked because it was disconnected , probably when installing child restraints ( dodgy compliance workers ) and when I tried to use it I got water everywhere and it leaked into the ecu's. Unplug ecu and remove from car. Get a hair dryer and contact cleaner and give it a good blast while blowing hair dryer , reinstall ecu and check it works ( which mine did ) and install cable ties onto water hose so it can't come loose .

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.

      You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.

      Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
