Default Weird problem when key is turned too ACC..

Ok, every time after I wash it or the car is wet it does this weird crap when the key is turned back to ACC, it usually only does it when it has been damp or wet for a while ....





If anyone can guess or diagnosis this problem id be in your debt as it is one of the many electrical problems Im facing. The seatbelt light flashes with the door chime and a weird ticking noise coming from behind the steering wheel in the dash somewhere. Please help ME!

ticking noise usually is the battery being low or it could be a ground is arching on one of your headers . i know i had to rewrap my starter wires cause it was touching one of my headers and it would make a ticking noise also and it was not a low battery . though it would blow fuses sometimes if that was the case . hope some of this may help .

i agree, id look for any wires that have become 'bare' from rubbing... or are burnt. Sounds like the water is just enough to get it to arc. Check the harness on the pass. side by the headers, its a common place to have burnt wires.

Are you sure your buzzer doesn't want to start making music? It sounds like its practicing its beat to me.
