Hi guys, so I'm about 8 weeks into ownership of a 04 320 CLK. Loving the car so far and this forum has been an invaluable resource of information.

Within the last day or so I've noticed an odd noise for about several mins after turning on the ignition or starting the engine. The clicking sounds like some sort of relay but I can't for the life of me work out what and wondering if anyone on here might know or have some idea what it could be?

FYI this is not the usual clicking from behind the dash caused by the blower system (I've got that too!).

It sounds more like a relay and position wise is somewhere under the dashboard/drivers door/under drivers seat area. Seems to occur on both ignition and while the engine is running and lasts about 10 mins.

Do you have the lumbar support option? Maybe something to do with that.

I had something similar. But mine sounded more like the clicking of a clock. Whenever the front driver seat wasn't nestled in position, it would do it. Usually releasing the seat from secure & pushing it forward & forcefully pushing it back down would stop it. I've been meaning to pull the seat out to check connections & microswitches but just haven't gotten to it. The sound hasn't been around for about 6 months for me.

Well, this seems to have done the trick. Pulled the seat forward then put it back in place with a little force - clicking noise has gone.
