Clicking sound under body, ignition on...?


Recommended Posts

1986 GL 1.8L 2 Door Hatchback - EA21

 

Car starts fine.

 

When I turn the ignition switch to the 'Acc' position (Maybe 'on' it's dark out.) I'm hearing a steady clicking sound. I don't notice it when the engine is running, but the sound of the engine could mask it. I traced it for a bit and it seems to be coming from just behind center towards the rear of the vehicle, centered somewhere near the drive-line or so.

 

Just curious as to what this could be, I'm assuming it's not supposed to be there, as the engine isn't even running (not to mention it's a clicking sound). I'm not even sure of anything electrical in that area. Are there relays under the rear seats somewhere?

 

Thanks for any help, prior.

I don't know much about transmissions, had no idea they contained solenoids... I do know that it's def. not automatic, if that makes a difference. I'd say about 50 hz sounds about right.

 

Also, this morning I was able to verify that the sound is def. happening while the engine is running...

 

Fuel pump is inside the tank, I presume...?

 

Thanks all.
