Hello,
I just registered to this forum. I have a 1996 Nissan truck with 4-spd automatic. I am experiencing a strange noise when moving forward or in reverse. But not when stopped with the engine running. It starts clicking right after starting to move forward or in reverse. The noise is not related to engine rpms. It is not valve noise. And the noise is erratic, not steady. It is coming from behind the glove box. Or it appears to be coming from that area. Inside the vehicle. The air bag is not functional. The red warning light for the air bag is on. This noise almost sounds like a relay switch that is constantly engaging and disengaging. I have tried changing all of the heater controls in every position possible and it doesn't stop the noise. I removed the glove box and the steel 90 degree plate behind it and couldn't find the culprit. The strangest thing is that when I pull up to a stop, the noise also stops. I am wondering if the non-functioning air bag is causing some electronic malfunction. Thanks...........
