Newbe, first time buyer. 2001 RX300 - 39,000 miles. Every now and then I hear a noise that sounds like a relay ckick from under the dash. At first I thought maybe it was the stereo. I turned off the stereo,heater and anything else I could think of but still heard the click. I can't find the sound either. Whenever I hear the click I'm driving. It sounds like its comming from the glove box. Any ideas?????

I can't believe no one has heard this noise. There is another thread with 16 answers to the same question. Can anyone help??

HERE'S THE REAR SCOOP, NOT THE JUNK YOU HAVE ALL REAR ABOUT.....

TAKE IT FROM ME, NOT ONLY AN OWNER BUT AN EMPLOYEE...

THERE IS A FIX, HAVE CONFIDENCE, THE NOISE ONLY OCCURS OR SHOULD

I SAY STARTS TO OCCUR WHEN THE TEMPS DROP, SO FACTORY TESTING

IS NOT THE REAL ANSWER, HOWEVER 100'S OF CARS HAVE BEEN FIXED

RELAX, THERE ARE WORSE THINGS!!!

2GZ...Thanks for your words of encouragement. My noise seems to happen when the temp rises. I don't hear the noise until the temp outside is above 65 degrees. But I still want to know if the sound I'm hearing is the sound everyone else is talking about. It sound like a relay clicking. Please (anyone) please let me know if this is the same sound (click) eveyone else is hearing. Thanks. :D

Well, it is winter here now in MD. We have had our car for about 8 months. Since the beginning of the winter, there has been ALOT of noise, crackling and popping from the dash. If you look closely, its more of a 1 piece cover that rests on top covering the airbags. If you reach forward to the windshield and press down, you will see the movement as it is sort of floating. When the car flexes, theres the noise. We had it in the dealership once, and they might have made it worse. Needless to say, I am *BLEEP*ed. What a HORRIBLE design. We will go back to the dealership next week.....Any others have dash noise?

I have a 2001 RX 300. Every now and then I hear a noise that sounds like a relay clicking. Is this the type of noise or sound that everyone else is talking about. I just want to be sure its not the beginning of a short.
