Never heard of this before!!!!!!
I drive a 99 grand am 2.4 - 2 door. Last night I drive home, turn on the signal light, the light comes on and it makes that ticking noise, but when I turn it off the ticking noise stays on, the signal light is off so its just the ticking noise. Its a lot faster than the regular ticking noise when you use the signal light, and its completly random even when parked, or driving, it comes and goes and its driving me crazy. Somebody must know how to solve this, all the advice i,ve got here so far has worked. Thanks in advance for any information.

Re: Never heard of this before!!!!!!
It could be a couple things, your hazzard switch which it also has the relay built in.
Or the multi function switch(MFS) on the steering coloumn has dirty contacts shorting out and or it is broken. I'd first check the related fuses though. Then have the hazzard switch tested. Hope that helps. Oh, and Let me know what you find.

Re: Never heard of this before!!!!!!
so all the fuses are fine, I,m sure its some loose connection, because today it barely ticked at all only the occasional tick. How do I go about taking apart the control switch for the signal lights. Any help at all would be appreciated. Thank you.

Re: Never heard of this before!!!!!!
Thiers 3 torq screws in the bottom of the plastic part surrounding the multi function switch(MFS).
First remove the Air Bag fuse ! The MFS is one piece, turn sig/headlights and the wiper control. Then thier is a screw on top of the MFS unit. Unplug the 3 connectors. Lift the front up and slowly remove. Sometimes the conntacts are dirty and a cleaning of the dirt/debrie will eliminate the clicking. Just becarefull because thier are 2 springs that can pop out, you need those, so dont loose them. hope that helps!
