Car Forum / Volvo Cars / January 2007Crackling noise - 1996 850
I'll try this again with better information .... I have a 1996 850 with 150,000. There is a crackling sort of sound, just loud enough to be heard above the idling motor. The sound comes from directly behind the headlight on the right side of the car from the driver or passenger's perspective. It is a USA car driven on the right side of the road. This crackling/rattling sound will usually happen even if I switch the key into the on position WITHOUT starting the engine. It rattles on for a few minutes and then fades out. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. > I'll try this again with better information .... > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Thanks in advance. How about the right front headlight motor running when it is not supposed to ? Glenn  Signature"*-344-*Never Forgotten" Is for the New York City Firemen who lost their lives on September 11,2001. The official count is 343, but there was also a volunteer who lost his life aiding in the initial rescue efforts. And I will never forget them as long as I live, nor should any American. The headlight has a MOTOR ?????? For what?

Replace tt with t (twice!) and remove parentheses to email me directly. (But I check the newsgroup more often than this email address.) > The headlight has a MOTOR ??????
