P38A clicking

kermit_rr · Dec 31, 2019

Hi all
Sitting in the landy yesterday nobbing about with the blend motors, key in ignition but switched off, i became aware of a relay type click under the drivers seat
Any ideas what this is? Didn't think there was anything under there apart from the ecu and fusebox?
Cheers

Lots of relays in the BECM

Right ok. That doesn't sound too clever. It shouldn't be doing anything when the ignition is off? Activating eas to check level maybe?

EAS is under passenger seat.

It takes about 20 minutes to go to sleep after being locked. Interior lights are all driven from BECM so could be lots of things.

Sounds like maybe I'm panicking over potentially nothing then!!

Then again it may be a clockwork timer on a BOMB.

Pull out the seat plastic thingy and have a look - is loads under there, maybe somethings loose.

I'll have a look, how do you get the little plastic push pin thingy out without destroying it? Been quite aggressive and don't want to break it!!

Difficult even with a removal tool.

What's that red relay sort of box thingy? Don't remember seeing that on mine.

Looks non standard to me with those blue diy connectors

I missed that red relay, it should not be there, it's not a standard part.

I was going to say the same thing, maybe the source of the clicking?

Could be, though the pic isn't of landy

Oh, thought it was, looks the same as the rangy!

Why do you say that? Looks identical to my P38's, I can even see the corner of the BECM.

The clicking is the BECM counting your savings
