  • Clicking noise coming from left behind the glovebox- 2004 Diesel Prado

    I have noticed a 'clicking' type noise coming from the glovebox intermittently from inside of the car for a while now, initially thought it might be injectors 'sticking' or some other mechanical problem, very soft when engine is running but sound is there.

    Yesterday however the whole picture changed. I turned on the ingnition to "on" before starting. I usually leave the ignition on until all the startup lights go out before starting. Within a second the clicking sound returned, sounds almost like a fax machine receiving a fax but a bit softer. At this point obvouisly standing still so cant be the crack that was reported in another thread.

    I opened the bonnet and could not hear the sound anymore until I got back in the car. So definetly inside the dash. Sound is louder when I open the glovebox. When I turn the car off it stops immediatly.

    It stays intermittently, about every 4/10 times I switch on. And stays on although I drive until I stop. No warning lights, all is working as it should. Including CDL.

    I tried turning fans/ac on and off, radio on and off even removed the shuttle as I thought it might be a motor running inside the cd shuttle causing the sound. No change in sound. Once its on it remains on.

    Anyone ever experienced something like this?

    According to Toyodiy the 4wd computer sits there as well as the airbag. But I cannot think what electrical component could make this noise.

    It could be the motor that drives the air control from fresh to recirculated air, try pushing the button on the dash and see if it changes. I shouldnt be the computer as it has no moving parts, it easy to take out the glove compartment to have a look.
