99 Malibu electrical problems - update

With the car off and the key out, you can hear a clicking noise on the passenger side around the dash and on the passenger side in the trunk. This is from the interior lights trying to come on (I guess) - but they are dim. Any clue as to what to look into first?????

I would be looking for a loose connection. If it were only up front I would say to check for a bad relay. But power surging in and out from a loose wire will cause a clicking noise. Where to start, not sure. There are many possibilites. Do they always come on dim or is there a moment when they don't. A good place to start I guess is the interior light switch on the doors if it happens when you open the door. If its just from removing the key, then I would start with the Ignition Swtich. Hope that helps. Let me know what you find out and I will try to assist you more.

OK, I fixed it YAY!. I replaced the brake light sensor and took out both rear light assemblies, cleaned them up, and siliconed where there were leaks. I put in new bulbs, and it runs now. :biggrin:
