I tried sourcing out the problem today but with little success.
I tried to find out which ones are the aircon and fan relays but I couldn’t find out for definite. So I cleaned contacts of all the relays I could find inside dashboard (4 on the fuse box and 3 behind wooden trim just left from glove compartment). But that didn’t solve the problem and more I think the more I doubt that the “tick” I hear is from some relay.
The “tick” seems to come from somewhere inside the dashboard between driver and co driver side and it’s volume varies a lot, sometimes it’s really loud but sometimes you can hardly hear it. One weird thing is also that this “tick” mostly occurs when driving, when I stop the car and let it idle on standstill this tick goes away after few minutes, therefore it’s hard to sort out where it’s coming form.
I’m almost definite that the “tick” comes from inside the car, not from under the hood. Also the air conditioning works without problems, cooling the car as needed.
