i think all do that, idk about that loud tho, its just the lock on the park so you have to engage the brake to get out of park

 

What he said. Obviously, it wasn't that loud when you bought the car, but idk how it gets louder or how to make it quieter.

I can hear mine, but it's not as loud as yours.

 

mines almost that loud - nothing to worry about.
Plenty of other cars ive heard do that too.

 

lol try this.. put your car in N, then simply play with the brakes.. keep pumping very lightly and you will hear that same sound. its the locking mechanism. i thought i was tripping out at first but then i realized..

 

Like others have said. It's normal. Agree w/ SEANcanBEAT

 

ok thanks for the answers, i thought it was sign of trouble.

 

out of curiosity, whats that wire coming from under your dash?

 

OBD-2 port wire, for scangauge 2 to read lean burn mode, bhp, ignition timing, mpg etc

 

Have you checked the braking fluid, It might be low

 

locking mechanism,like they all said.

 

lol those lights are on because the car is turned to ON, you know right after ACC. car is off. ignore the lights.

 

scangauge 2, i wanted to get one, is it worth the$$?

 

depends if you like hypermiling. this thing helps me get 32-33 mpg on the highway by finding the right throttle input and speed to get the highest ignition timing. i also wanted to know my air intake temprature and transmission fluid temp(which doesnt work yet).

 

This is your shift lock solenoid engaging... 100% normal

 

cool

 

wait, i thought the OBD port was in front of the shifter in the sort of pocket up there - you pull off that cover...

 

Oh man, I wish my speedometer went to 240.

 

Not on the 03

 

Haha yeah I just said that because sometimes low braking fluid can cause clicking noises.

 

Not near the shifter.
