What could cause a knocking come clicking sound under the dashboard without the engine started and just the electrics on?

you might have slung a rod.

I just had this happen- I disconnected the battery to try and reset the ECU, and when I plugged it back the clicking started. Apparently it was the remote door lock- just try unlocking/locking your car a few times and see if that helps.

Dashboard Confessional started out in 1999, and, to present, is still together.

I've just started having this problem too on my 2002 Malibu. I have found a lot of intermitted turn signal issues, especially for the 2000-01 Malibu, but I am still searching for info on the clicking (turn signal) sound from the dash.

Look at the half shaft.

yes. Depending on how long the engine was allowed to run low on oil, it may have suffered serious damage which would shorten it's life span.

It sounds like you threw a Rod

The ignition is on (should go off when the car is started)

All the lights would go out. Also the radio would turn off. Also you wouldn't get the car started.

your oil pump could have gone bad or you have a restriction in the flow like a clogged oil filter. needless to say if it is knocking it may have caused major dammage

by going to that site and clicking getting started on the left.

usually loose belts.

you need a new starter motor

mine was the water pump and i just had to replace that

Serious engine knock or valve train noise. Have this looked into by a pro.

Starter solenoid is not making contact to turn starter motor. Replace starter or solenoid(which is on the starter) !st try the battery posts. look and see if tight and clean... same thing happened to me i tightened it ,and the caddy started right up

Uhh. As hot as it can get outside if not hotter. There was a point when i was living in Phoenix that some of the plastic on my dashboard started to melt.

It could be a starter problem....can you tell where the click is coming from? is it the started clicking, or a relay clicking?

It all depends on the nature of the 'knocking': Cheap gas - light rattle during acceleration indicating 'pre-ignition' is happening. light knocking all around the engine - low / expired engine oil Low oil pressure - plugged filter to failing oil pump Hard knocking - could be a piston coming lose and banging on the side of the cylinder walls - not good(!) Way too many variables to diagnose over the internet. Have the car…

The incident was some NVA tanks knocking down the capital's gates and parking themselves on the front lawn; that's pretty official!

Hi Its because your electrics are about to conk out, the next thing will be the central locking !!! This is how mine started, costs a fortune to put right !!!

Started with turning right now it's while driving and it's not a constant noise. Just started today

he originally started out as a bassist, but then moved on to guitar, acoustic more notably. he has been known to use Taylor acoustic-electrics, and on the this is our god album he is seen using a Gibson sj-200.

anti roll bar

Battery is dead?

When you accelerate. you are putting presure on the main engine barrens. if they are going bad. You will hear this knocking sound. I don't know how many miles you have on this engine. But that's what it sounds like. But that's not all that can make this sound. You will have to tell more about it and when it started. Did it just start all at once? or did it start and then get…

Cracked head or blown head gasket.

it means you havent started you car, part of the motor-starter-block for anti theft.

Pinging louder during first few seconds when started is normal for this engine. if the valve is sticking you should have a bad miss fire and the car would run ruff if the car runs smooth still it's a rod

As of March 28, 2011, the New York Times started charging user for clicking on more than fifteen pages a month. This is due to the fact that they started losing revenue when society started going digital.

My girlfriend's 1995 Escort made a funny knocking/grinding/chirping noise from the back part of the engine. The motor mounts were loose and the problem was solved after they were tightened.

You would need to provide more information. Does the click happen with key on and engine not started? Does the clicking sound come from the engine compartment? Does the click abruptly stop in a specific amount of time? Does it matter if the engine is cold or will it also click after the engine has stopped for just a few minutes like you would find when shopping or refueling? Does wet weather make a difference?

No, unless they have only a few tweets which can fit the whole page.

Depending on the year of your vehicle it could be the factory immobilizer. What is the year make and model of the vehicle?

Ignition switch

Programs that are running will be in 'Task Manager' this can be accessed by right-clicking the taskbar and then selecting 'Tast Manager', programs that are not in use will not be running/seen until started.

Sounds like a dead battery. Try charging the battery, then start.

replace heater core. replace fan.

My car was making this noise when I started it up. the noise went away after driving for a while. turnd out I just needed more oil.

THEY STARTED TO MAKE TE CASTLES ROUND SO IT WAS HARDER TO KNOCK DOWN BECAUST THEY WOULD START BY KNOCKING DOWN THE CORNERS TO MAKE IT EASIER SO THEY MADE THE CASTLES ROUND

The largest warning light on the diesel Peugeot Partner dashboard is the Service Engine light. If it comes on during starting but goes out when the vehicle is started, there is no problem. If the light stays on, it is wise to service the engine.

Starting in 1999, Jeep started placing electronic chips in the keys used to start the vehicle. If you see a key light with a line through it on your dashboard, this means that you are trying to start the vehicle without the correct key with the chip in it, for example, using a replica key that you had made from the original.

My dashboard started doing this after I got a stereo system installed in my Cavalier. What actually ended up happening is that when they reconnected the battery they shorted out my dashboard itself and I had too end up buying a new one and install it. I'm sure this is the same problem. It's actually not very difficult to replace. you can find the part on eBay and it will be so much cheaper than…

you may have disturbed the coolant level sensor while changing oil, and the knocking could be an impropper filter application or maybe the oil pump pick up is stopped up in the oil pan.

The brand of fuel you are using may cause it. I had started using UNOCAL super for awhile in my Buick Regal/86 and it went away. It had started when the blend in my preferred fuel was modified for the season change. Go up a grade of fuel or change station brands for awhile. /Alex

Dead battery; you left the lights on, didn't you?
