The dash makes a clicking sound at times. It sounds like the 4-way flasher.
We changed the flasher with one that works from a 1998 malibu but it still does it.
I had to change about five bulbs when we got the car and for a while that stopped the noise.
I read lots of threads here where almost everything was tried.
My question?
Is there a definite cause for this and what is the cure?
Cheers

Fixed for now.
3 bolts on bottom #20 torx and/or 9/32 socket.
1 bolt same size on top.
3 wire connectors.
I cleaned the brown grease out of the groves with micro screw-driver.
hooked it back up.
Tried it and clicking gone.
About 20 minutes total and cost 0.00$
