I have no reference for a solenoid in my 82 which constantly clicks when the ign is on. It is located in the right cargo compartment mounted on the wall forwarded of the jack. - No it's not a bomb. Any ideas? Thanks

I had my rear compartment out and noticed the relay. I was to lazy to look in the assembly manual to find out what it's for.


edit: I meant to say I was too busy to look in the manual.

Alarm relay. At least that is where it was in my 76.
Pull it and see what happens. My guess is nothing.

If it has a wire loom with 9 wires in it ,it would be the windshield
wiper delay relay. I think this is where it is located in an 82.(I think )

Does it click constantky (as in on off..on off..on off) ????

The fuel pump relay does click when you turn the ign. on..but only once. The relay primes the fuel system when you turn the ignition on. It's a black relay, looks like this: (it has a 5 pinout connector on it w/ tan/white black/white green/white red and orange leads



The antenna relay is a white relay, it's mounted in the center (it has 2 connectors), the wiper control module is indeed moutned on the right, it's a black plastic box w/ a large metal bracket and fiberglass reinforced tape around it. It has by far the most wires there. The theft module looks like this:





I've never heard that one click (but my alarm was not functional)

Put your finger on it while it clicking it won't bite it's probably the wiper delay relay.It clicks real fast and not consistant.

It's the wiper relay. The wipers work, but just touching the switch lightly causes the contacts to click. the delay mode is toast but I can live with it. I think I can fix the clicking sound with another 100 horses and better exhaust.
This is my first post and I'm amazed with the response. Many thanks!
