2001 LeSabre ALC "clicking noise" question
I had my rear shocks replaced over the weekend. As I remember ALC made a humming noise before, when adjusting. Now with the new shocks it made a "two-clicks" sound and that's it. I did not have anyone fat to sit in the back, should I put something heavy in the trunk to see if it "humms" to adjusts? Are the clicks normal, or is something disconnected/not connected? I got under the rear of the car to make sure the wires from both rear shocks are connected to the control box and they are.

Re: 2001 LeSabre ALC "clicking noise" question
Since noone is replying...
![]() I put 80 lbs into the trunk yesterday, put the ignition on run and sat there for two minutes - nothing. Turned the ignition on, sat there for two minutes, nothing again. Don't know if that's not enough weight. I checked the ELC fuse under the back seat, it's a large grey non-transparent fuse, so I can't see if it's blown or not. Will try to switch it with another fuse from that box, to see if anything changes. |

Re: 2001 LeSabre ALC "clicking noise" question
Sorry for replying to my own message again. After some testing yesterday, there's a 2-3 sec humming sound that was not there before, that comes from the back of the car, right after I turn my key to run or ignition - is that ELC working or is that the fuel pump pumping in gas? The sound comes on every time I turn the key in the clockwise direction. It sounds more mechanical, so all the signs point to that being ELC, it's just that before I remember it made a louder humming sound and ran more often (I guess it was leaking before and I did not know it, I thought it was ok). This is why when I was testing it before, nothing has been happening after a couple of minutes of waiting with the key in the run or ignition position, because it already adjusted?

Re: 2001 LeSabre ALC "clicking noise" question
A 2 second hum with key on is your fuel pump priming.........
