man of la manche Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 There is a loud clicking sound (with a low constant buzz) that starts when I put the key into either on or accessory (any position that will start powering the electrical), when I listen from outside it sound like it is coming from the canister area, when I listen from the inside it seems to be from the transmission tunnel area, the noise doesn't go away when the engine is running either. Ant ideas on what could be happening? Aside from this noise there doesn't seem to be any other problems with the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildman Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Your more than likely hearing the relays click on and the fuel pump running :D If it's a really loud "buzzing" sound, your fuel pump could be on it's way south :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
man of la manche Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 the sound isn't coming from the relays that are up by the battery, the sound is definitely from down low, as if it is near where the transmission meets the engine, is the fuel pump in the tank? or is it external but the comment about the relays clicking does give me an idea, maybe i could try disconnecting the starter solenoid and see if the clicking goes away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildman Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 The fuel pump is in the tank, internally, and the tank is on the left (drivers) side, right along the drive shaft / transmission, so the fuel pump noise would radiant up thru the tranny tunnel. The started solenoid will only be "activated" when you turn the key to the 'start' position. Disconnecting it will not do anything to stop the clicking noise. You could also be hearing the "key in lock" buzzer under the dash, but it's on its way out and only making a small buzzing sound :hmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 failing door/key sentry chime. just a haphazard guess...but seems likely. if your relay tests don't do anything, remove the 1.5"x2.5" black/blue box to the left of your fuse box in the driver's side foot well.

man of la manche Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 I found the problem. Its coming from the fan when I turn on the heater. Hopefully its only the blower motor. Which is likely because when I turn it off the noise goes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james750 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 yep, that is what I was going to suggest, mine has been doing it with engine off and fan on since I got it but I haven't been worried about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
man of la manche Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 i'm going to have to replace mine asap, its louder than the engine when it is running :grrrr: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james750 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 i'm going to have to replace mine asap, its louder than the engine when it is running :grrrr: If your talking about your fuel pump? I personally think that its a myth that it will whine when going out. My last 2 pumps on my truck had no whining or signs of going out, they just quit one day. My new (3rd) pump has been whining since day 1 and has never shown any problems. Also, my 92 XJ that I had years ago whined from the day I bought it to the day my sister crashed it and the pump never gave out. If your talking about the clicking of the blower fan, mine will only do it when the engine is off so idk why yours would be making that noise with the engine on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
man of la manche Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 Its the blower that's causing problems. It is now squeeling when I am running the heater fan. So I'm just leaving it off for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
