I've noticed that every time I turn the key in my Kia Picanto, there is a loud clicking noise that comes from near the steering wheel. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?
ReplyIt sounds like the problem could be with your car's starter motor or solenoid. These parts are responsible for starting the engine and can wear out over time. I would recommend taking your car to a certified mechanic to have it checked and potentially replaced.
Another possible cause for the clicking noise could be a weak car battery. If the battery is old or not holding a charge, it may not have enough power to fully turn over the engine when you turn the key. Consider getting your battery tested or replaced to see if that solves the issue.
It's also possible that the clicking noise is coming from a faulty ignition switch. This is the mechanism that sends the signal to the starter motor to engage. If the switch is malfunctioning, it can cause issues with starting the car. Get this checked by a mechanic to see if it needs to be replaced.
