Start-Up Noise Annoys

Asked by Peter Vear

EVERY time I turn the key on my 2007 Mitsubishi 380 VRX I hear a clicking noise. It stops as soon as the engine starts, and is more prevalent in cold weather. My dealer told me it is a relay and that there's nothing to worry about, but it's getting to be very annoying. Can you help?

I can imagine it is very annoying. Take it back to the dealer and demand it be fixed. Your car should still be under warranty and the noise you are hearing might well be a relay, but it's not normal and you have every right to have it fixed.
