2010 GT500 clicking behind radio?

[lubrizolsfin3st]

Probably is a dumb question but when u first turn the key there is a crazy loud clicking noise which seems to be behind the radio. Is it the special shaker head unit, CD player, or ?.

Our 2011 GT does this as well.

We suspect it's a heater/air vent or something.

Does the radio or CD portion of it ever click when the key isn't in the ignition? And have you had to change your battery?

Either a blend door or temp door motor. If it changes when going from hot to cold, its a temp motor. If it changes when switching from defrost to face vents, for example, it is a blend door motor.

Does your CD player eject cd's?

I'm not sure why, but the Shaker CD systems are fairly notorious to break....usually is caused by low battery or a lot of sitting.

It does it everytime you turn the key to accessories or just start it. It stops after a few seconds

I honestly haven't used a cd in a very long time. I'll try to video it in a few seconds

I turned it off and right back on and it didn't do it. I guess it does it when it sits for a little bit. Freakin crazy. Atleast it doesn't do it while it's running almost sounds like motor is knocking haha

 

[BMR Tech]

EXACTLY what ours does.

That is funny.

Yep. Your CD player is broken. Typically they break from low voltage from battery. I've seen this happen to at least a dozen different cars.

Broken?

We use our CD player every time we drive our car (everyday).

Our's sounds exactly like th OP's.

I was going to say, that sounds different than the noise my CD unit was making when it was randomly cycling even though there was no CD in there.

Sorry, I guess I didn't listen to it very well the first time.

The CD player will cycle through all 6 slots when broken. That sounds like the blend door; does it change it's tune when you increase the fan strength?

 

[lubrizolsfin3st]

Ok I'll put some cd's in

After listening to it again, it's definitely the blend door. The CD player should work fine.

 

[lubrizolsfin3st]

Blend door?

 

[lubrizolsfin3st]

Ok I looked it up and but it still cycles fine but I guess it will go out soon. I'll call up the dealer and get them to replace it because it doesn't look cheap

Good luck! I'd say you'd definitely want it fixed living in Texas.

Blend doors aren't cheap to replace due to the labor involved getting to them. Keep us updated :beer:
