Theres another video of a guy telling how to fix it. just do a search for clicking noise around dash. He says its a actuator.

Mine sounds like typewriter noises coming from around the speedometer or steering wheel area. It happens when my engine is running. It makes noise regardless if my air conditioning is on or not.

I took my Toyota sienna in to get a complete inspection and everything is fine , mechanic took it for two test drives and no sound . I get in and engine is warm and the typewriter up front starts and stops up to 10 mph and the other night stuck not moving in traffic it was loud . It does not seem to be affected by rpm . So I will try the air system the next time this happens. I wonder if I can disable the air conditioning system by pulling a fuse without getting that stupid CEL to shine up at me . Nice to know others have this conundrum, just wish we did not.

Mine sounds like a typewriter or someone clicking on a keyboard after I shut the car off it clicks continuously for about 3-5 minutes

So when I turn down my air conditioner the tapping sound came on again but when I turned on the heat it went off I haven't used my AC in like 5 or 6 months

[@laragreene8328]

The noise in my car starts with just me turning the key to on! its a pretty loud clicking sound coming from the dash area. I dont even try to start the car I just have the key turned to on.

Did you find out what was the issue? Happening to my Suzuki Swift 1.3

[@Superdudehatesmilk]

Did you find the problem? Same thing in my Ford Escape.

[@laragreene8328]

@@Superdudehatesmilk yes the unusual problem was a new relay. It wasnt a oem relay so it clicks for some reason. I'll replace it when I find the oem relay,which for my older car its hard to find one.

[@f1ollower251]

@@Superdudehatesmilk I took my Susuzki on car service and they told me it's the AC problem, nothing to be concerned about.

[@fullmetaleater]

I have the knocking noise soon i turn my key before i even crank it. even when my ac is off. Think i still could be ac related? Or relay of fuse related?

[@anthonyfoster6419]

Mine starts before I even insert the key in the ignition

[@johnengelmann6305]

I have same issue!!! Did you get this fixed? What was it?

[@torreyance2468]

What a useless video. Include some sound examples, not just talk. Next thing he is going to say water is wet.
