I am hearing a clicking nose from the right front side. It only happens when I am driving. The faster I go the faster the clicking nose. Does anyone have any Ideas?

Also The coolant light came on today. I checked the coolant and everything ok. It has come a couple of times, only when I park on a slope. But today I was parked level.

Thanks,
Kat

I get the same clicking...hope someone has an idea...but it definitely comes from the passenger side front and goes with the speed.

Oh no, not the dreaded clicking nose!

Sounds like you need an ear, nose and throat specialist...

have you checke the wheel bearings and breaks?

I'm betting it's the counter for the check the O2 sensor light.

The O2 sensor check light is just a counter, after so many miles it come on. After a while, the counter wears out, and just gets to ckicking.

Just disconnect it.

Does it stop when you apply the brakes lightly? I had that recently and I fixed it by putting on a new brake pad clip or "retaining spring" in the PET. The big spring thing that goes on the outside pad of "S" brakes.

1 Buy a motorcycle side car.
2 drill holes in your right front fender and securely attach it to the right front of your car.
3 get your mechanic to sit in the side car, preferably with a mechanic's stethoscope. and demonstrate the noise by driving as fast as you can while he looks around for it.

But seriously folks; see whether you can identify the source of the noise while someone drives the car at about 3mph. It could be the wheel, the fan/belt/etc, or the suspension.

ErnestSw, how fast do you recommend they drive with the mech in the cart, and does the mech get a seetbelt?

ErnestSw

Lizard.
It's obvious. The faster you go the louder and more intense the noise. I wouldn't recommend anything over 140 though. As to the seat belt, how would the mechanic be able to look around for the noise if he were belted in? Boy, I have to tell you everything!!

I think it's the neighbors cat hanging on to the tire for dear life.

Lizard928

Ernestsw, why wouldnt you recommend you recommend going over 140, also is that kmph or mph, if mph that I can understand, and sorry I forgot about him being able to look around with a belt on, also how loud in deciples does the noise get at that speed?

I say it's a stone or a sheetrock screw in the tire.

ErnestSw

Lizard,
Boy, you don't know much, do you?
It's 140mph and the added wind resistance of the side car and the mech could unbalance the car above that speed. As far as decibels is concerned, it would probably be juuuuust a tad louder than the mech's screams!
Think man, think!!!

I'll go with ViribusUnits. The counter is located beside the passenger seat under the cover at the base of the door. I repacked my front wheel bearings before I found that sucker.

Definately the counter for the O2 sensor. Remove the knurl nut on the cover betweent he passenger seat and the door. Then unplug the counter. If the clicking stops, problem solved! If not, plug it back in, replace the cover and start looking elsewhere, but my $9.28 is on the O2 sensor counter.
