Default Relay's clicking while driving..passenger foot area?

Is it typicaly to hear relays clicking on and off while driving? I hear one behind the gauges to the left and atleast one if not more going crazy at times under the passenger side of the dash.

?

Thanks

Can you isolate which relay? Relays do wear out.

Behind the guages? Earlies have the relays under the drivers side column, late's have then under the hood.

What year 944?

Passenger footwell is where the DME is located.. as is your cruise control module.

Behind the dash? I'll let one of the late-dash style guru's handle that one.

Most likely climate control; do a search on using climate and clicking and see what you come up with...

Never ran wires but some climate control relay on my car was clicking a lot and buzzing sometimes. Was fixed by replacing the outside air temp sensor. That was busted and sometimes and open and sometimes giving a measurement. CC system couldn't decide what to do for more than a split second.

I can hear a quiet click from the DME area every time an injector driver fires ever since my rebuild.

I get the clicking in my swapped car, normally just in mid throttle. some relay in the DME or KLR I guess. It's not exactly stock so I figure something is pissed off and trying to compensate.

I concur on the climate control relay (temp sensor) that sits behind the dash/clock area.

I really need to start subscribing to my own threads . Thanks for the input. It does seem to be related to the climate control. I just got the a/c charged and I don't notice it clicking when the a/c is on. I'll have to check out the temp sensors. I think the relay behind the gauges is possibly for the high speed on the engine cooling fans. Now that I am running the a/c, I hear the fans and relay going off alot and I think their in sync.

I had this happen on my 87 na.
I called Zims and they told me what it was...but that was a few years back.
Call and ask Kirk...
