Can you tell us where the "ticking" may be coming from? Mechanical or electrical such as a relay? Need a bit more information here.

Subject: Strange ticking -'88 GL

On the way out of town, gassed up, airred up, freoned up (actually HFC 152A), loaded up - every thing is perfect, then this ominous  ticking starts. Regular as can be, about every 8-10 sec. It doesn't change with speed changes or engine speed. Loud enough to be heard over the den of the a/ c blower.

Anybody got some idea what this might be? Put of my trip 'til I get to the bottom of it!
