What causes clicking noise from box under front seat of 1997 Aurora?

If the 1996 Olds Aurora will not start and there is a clicking noise from under the front panel, check the starter. The clicking noise is probably from the starter solenoid.

That's what relays do when they are energized.

If clicking while trying to start then might be a bad starter. If clicking while running, then might be valve/lifter noise.

Could be your brake pads shifting in the calipers which is normal in some cars. You should have your brakes looked at just to be safe.

It is a safety-switch noise that does not allow you to put the vehicle in reverse until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. I was told that this is normal (2002-2006), but I do not understand how Honda could release a product that has such a noise.

A bad cv joint/axle shaft on the front will make a clicking noise when turning.

Mine had a clicking noise and it turned out to be the front passanger side axle assembly.

That is the neutral safety switch making the click sound.

A cricket. It rubs its front feet together, producing a sound.

it is not the hazard system, but comes from the speedo cable which is routed behind the dashboard thus making it sound like the flasher unit.

Coming from the drive wheels? Could be worn CV joints

CV Joints are the most common cause.

It could be the bearings on your front driver side wheel.

When you turn the ignition u will hear a clicking noise,an my take 3 or 4 tries until the engine starts or your aurora could loose power an may need to be jumped off. -Jake of Texas owner of an 95 aurora
