My car's at the dealer tomorrow to look at, amongst a few other things, a strange occasional ticking from the dash that I've narrowed down to the climate control mechanism (ie the bits that control the flow of the air). However this evening, I experienced a whole new regular ticking sound, that has nothing (as far as I can tell) to do with the climate control or fans.
I had pulled up outside a shop while my friend jumped out for a few moments. I turned the engine off, but turned the ignition back on. I suddenly became aware of a ticking coming from what sounds like behind the glovebox. It was a regular tick, about four times a second, and disappeared when I turned the ignition off, but returned as soon as I turned the ignition back on again. I eliminated the climate control by turning that off completely - in fact I turned everything off I could other than the ignition, but the regular ticking remained.
Started the car up and continued to my destination, and tried to recreate the problem when I arrived, but it wasn't doing it this time...
Weird...?
