Car Forum / Oldsmobile Cars / September 2008Olds Cutlass Supreme 1997 brake clicking noise
I need technical assistance; every time I step on the brake pedal in m 1997 Olds Cutlass Supreme, I hear this "click-click" noise coming fro under the dashboard or perhaps the firewall area - like it's above th pedals under the dash. It's driving me nuts! "click, click-click, click every time I step on the brake. What the heck is it? Anyone have hints ou there? There is no brake lights lit on the dash - no ABS or brake light I'm stumped. How about you? Thanks for any guesses out there. Stephe - Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.oldsmobile More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.htm It might be time to inspect/replace your brake switch. It may be out of adjustment or is going bad. Don't some vehicles have a shift lock solenoid? You have to have your foot on the brake in order to shift out of park. That solenoid might be in the area from which you're hearing the click. Could be cruise control related, but I don't see any solenoids on the schematic for a '98 Cutlass. You could pull the ABS fuse long enough to find out if the clicking goes away. Other fuse to try for a short period: cruise control If still no clues then you could start pulling nonessential system fuses one at a time to find out what circuit your clicker is on. >I need technical assistance; every time I step on the brake pedal in my > 1997 Olds Cutlass Supreme, I hear this "click-click" noise coming from [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.oldsmobile/ > More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.html Thanks to "Silver Surfer" for the advice on the clicking noise under th dash on "97 Cutlass Supreme. Some people are telling me that it's the AB modulator that is on the blink, I mean click. They're telling me that it's gonna be around $2000 to replace th modulator if that is the problem. YIKES! Someone else told me it may be the speed sensor on a wheel. If so wouldn't the ABS light be glowing? I'm scratching my head here. - Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.oldsmobile More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.htm I don't believe it is the "ABS modulator" because it is under the hood not under the instrument panel. It's not likely to be a wheel speed sensor either. I agree with you that the ABS light would be lit if a wheel sensor was on the fritz. You will need to either do some experimenting per my earlier suggestions or crawl up under the instrument panel and lay hands and eyes on whatever is clicking. > Thanks to "Silver Surfer" for the advice on the clicking noise under the > dash on "97 Cutlass Supreme.
