Is that ticking a bad thing???
I disconnected my door alarm a few days ago because it was going off at random times for no good reason. Since then I've noticed a ticking sound down in the passenger side floorboard. Is that bad? Also, now my sunroof doesn't open. Please tell me that the two are somehow related. I know - all I have to do is reconnect the alarm to check about the sunroof - but what about that ticking sound?

Does the tick cycle increase or decrease with speed?

Hmm ... not that I notice. I guess I should mention that it ticks even when the car is turned off and no key in the ignition. I don't know if opening the door triggers it or not. I'll figure that out today. Could it be some kind of relay? I don't even know what a relay is ...

the ticking is coming from the alarm unit itself under the floor. how did you disable it? you need only unplug the unit, that will disable the alarm and make the ticking go away.

I unplugged the connection nearest the floorboard on the passenger side near the firewall. Should I disconnect both plugs? Does that have anything to do with my sunroof?
