Annoying Clicking Noise In The Dash On Startup

[555kkk]

when you turn the ignition to on , i can hear a clicking noise under the dash . it clicks about 5 to 10 times and then nothing. very annoying

pulled plastic dash surround off and put my hand into a/c unit i can feel the clicking through the plastic the noise is just around this area.

the clicking seemed to start after i had a cd player in the car .

Hey mate,

If the clicking is comming from the air con vents when you turn your key to "acc" or start up the car its just the vents opening.

Mine does that on start up, goes away, and then if i put the air con on and have it on feet, and then move it to body, it clicks.

Not a real big problem just another thing comming in most skylines.

A mates 33 and another mates 34 all do the same.

same thing is happening on mine. started after i pulled the dash

out. obviously didn't line it up properly.

i'll try and fix it today. will post up results.

it is a little bit annoying, always having passengers ask "whats that sound?"

ive had two series 2 R33's and both did not have the problem initially..

only developed a few months after owning them in both cars

as i said man, its just the vent fans opening and closing.

you can fix it if you want to, its a b**ch to get in there but.

basically just needs some lubing up

If it goes on for 10-15 seconds you will find that it is a stripped plastic cog on the hot/cold blend door, theres a few threads on it around, have to pull the whole dash pad off to fix it.

do we have any links to posts that give a detailed descripiton of fixing the problem? Ive heard jus getting the whole motor from a wrecked skyline (just the little motor that operates the gear, with the gear attatched) will fix it but i there any other way like just replacing the cog?

Mines been doing it for a while, i need a new dash so can do both at once if i can get a correct fix

Nissan want between 250 and 400 for the motor (couldnt tell which one it was from the fast diagrams) its a bit to much just for that

Anyway if theres a post about fixing it then someone please link it i here, ive searched a couple of times but never really found much more then whats already been said here

[555kkk]

anybody finds the "how to" please post
