Clicking when I turn wheel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Zonaman · 04-10-2013, 06:51 PM

I've begun to notice a clicking noise when I turn the wheel on my truck. It doesn't seem to be coming from the power steering pump, it seems to be on the driver's side, it does it when you turn right or left but not on the return, and it doesn't always occur in the same position. I put my hand on the steering box but could not feel a corresponding ping there when the noise occured. I looked at the suspension too and didn't see anything obvious. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Horn relay maybe? Is the sound coming from the steering column?

Seems to. I'll unplug the horn and see if it goes away

Could be a wheel bearing

Or turn signal switch interference?

Sounds like your horn button could be grounding and it's setting the relay off.
