hello there...
finally, someone else hears it too! I'M NOT CRAZY! YEESSSS!! ;)
ok, here's what i know about it...
the ACC fuse in my car, is also the power supply for the CLOCK...
now... from what I can tell about this noise, it sounds EXACTLY like the ticking of a clock... however... there is an interesting twist on my car...
I HAVE NO CLOCK! I pulled the clock right out of the dash, and replaced it with a boost gauge. The power wire for the clock now supplies power to another switch in my car, for my audio system...
so, it's very possible that there is some sort of relay for the clock or some device that actually sends the power in a pulse form TO the clock, to make the seconds go... you know?
and maybe the relay just get's loud over time?
I'm going to trace it on a wiring diagram somehow... i'll let you know what i find out...
The power wire for the clock is the RED one in the 3 pin connector attached to the back of the clock unit... let me know if you still hear the TICK with the clock unplugged...
i don't know... but it sure is annoying.... let's figure this one out together!
