03 Grand Am clicking noise

[bsubroncofan]

My wife's car recently starting making a clinking noise that is almost constant. It sounds like the turn signal is on, but the signals work fine. Any idea what could be causing this?

Thats a easy one , replace the 4-way emergency flasher switch , Garenteed fix and have seen this in the shop many times .

Yes im no mechanic but i have an 01 that does the same thing. and after HOURS of research,They actually believe it's because of multiple actions on the blinker arm(switch)it gets dusty and actually glitches and is not sure what signal it's suppost to be sending, which can and will eventually cause a short and maybe a fire. also i do know that on the 01 they are replacing the hazzard switch to only stop the problem for a while it seems now this is my opinion after what i've found. there is also a recall on 01's for this you may research around and see if maybe your year is part of that also....hope this at least gives you something to raise brow about.

I replaced the switch but it's still making the clicking noise. I also checked the fuse and it's fine. Any other suggestions?

I did this and it did not cure the issue. I have also checked the fuse and it was fine. Any other suggestions?

If the hazard/blinker switch did not fix then try the multifunction switch fix. It may be the root of the problem, usually one or the other, or both are a fix to the clicking. Has been reported on GA's from 1999 to 2005.
