djsubtronic Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 So I've been noticing a clicking noise coming on when the wipers are on intermittent mode (front and rear both). As soon as they start moving, I can hear a clicking sound from the fusebox area in the passenger footwell. I'm not sure if this has always been the case or has something to do with the piggyback fuse I attached in slot 100 for the dashcam I installed a few weeks ago. Anyone have any ideas? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djsubtronic Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 Ah cool, thanks. I guess I must have had my music turned down a bit lately to have noticed it :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Thanks guys. It's just weird that I never heard the sound before. Wonder if there's any way to quieten it? A: switch off wipers B: turn up the stereo C: re-wire the system locating the relay in boot compartment. 😕 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Do you have the plastic 'colander' style cover on the underside of the fusebox or the padded trim panel? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wifiuk Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 i normally turn the gain up on the amp in the boot connected to the sub ...... when its raining :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djsubtronic Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 Do you have the plastic 'colander' style cover on the underside of the fusebox or the padded trim panel? Umm... It's just the regular rectangular plastic thing I think. Can't remember if it's padded or not, it's got two rotating clips on the sides and flips down.

TomsFocus Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Mine only has the colander...when did they start fitting the foam? Its odd that the relays are quite loud in the Focus compared to a Golf or something, yet they use an artificial indicator tick that's too quiet! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was standard on all mate, Ford remove it to change pollen filter during service, Perhaps they failed to refit yours, I only posted up images of mine encase you wanted to use them to source one from breakers or something email them picture of the part. I totally agree 😀 Noisey wiper relay And whisper quiet pre-recorded indicator sound effect of a relay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a picture of mine Hey Lenny Any ideas if these can be purchased online? Got my focus like 2 weeks ago and the clicking is driving me INSANE. Didnt have it on my previous Seat Ibiza, or the Corsa! is there any indication for those of you with lots of knowledge.... what the name of this is/if it can be purchased from eBay etc? First post btw, so hey all! Thanks Craig 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Personally I'd be making one out of paper mache (using a mates one as a template) and using Velcro to stick it up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djsubtronic Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Just now, Thatguycraig said: i know right? I do want it but im a bit skeptical about paying that.... Ask them for some detailed pics of every angle and DIY it. I did put a piece of closed cell foam on top of the fusebox cover as I had some leftover from soundproofing my car. However it looked ugly as it was right there in the footwell, and it didn't really do much to stop the noise. So I guess it needs to be a snug fitted piece of foam that does a better job sealing the gaps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
