nipper Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Why was the car towed home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpreset Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 i had it at a shop for a mechanics diagnosis of why it was not running right he said the carb needed to be rebuilt so i had it towed home so i did not have to fight it home it was not making this ticking nose when the tow truck picked it up and it was on a flat bed so i don't know what happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whistler Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Any lights flickering or anything?. The ticking could be the contacts in a relay opening and closing. I'm sure there are other, worse possibilities but I don't know what they are. If you are sure that its inside the dash and not in the engine bay (ie not the starter motor or something) I would try pulling the relays that are below the steering wheel one at a time and see if it stops. I know there are two for headlights and I think a couple others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
