Guest S30DatsunL24 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Hey, ive got a 73 240z and everytime i try the wipers, a little relay box (under the glove box) starts to click, about once every 15-20 seconds. Does anyone know what exactly it does or what the noise is from etc. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 haha. I had it happen perodically and I just got fed up with all the problems in my electrical system so I ripped it out and started making an all new system from scratch. Good luck with finding out the cause! I would be interested since I had the same thing. BTW my car is an early 74 260 so it is basically the same electrically as a 73.

COZY Z COLE Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 If you have intermittent wipers the clicking you hear is most likely the intermittent amplifier which is located under the glove box.It is the time delay unit for your wiper sweeps. Might need replacement. This feature was added in the 72 build year. LARRY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest S30DatsunL24 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 ya it happens when i try to turn on the wipers and doesnt stop until i completely turn off the car. Also, itll click whenever i touch one of the copper prongs on the turn signal stalk to some of the metal on the steering colomn. I think it might be something with the horn cause that doesnt work either. btw, does anyone know if its possible to get some replacments for the plastic inside the turn signal switch or would it be easier to just ebay it or go to a junkyard?

Guest S30DatsunL24 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 i dont really know which ones which but i think there are about 3 of them under there. what i was wondering about is the clicking sound normal or does that mean somethings broken. i dunno if i need to have the wiring redone or if the wiper motor/wiring is broken.
