Clicking noise when turning the steering to the left
There’s a plasticky clicking noise when I turn the steering to the left by about 20-30 degrees. It happens every time I turn to the left. Video attached. Any ideas what this is? I already have an ESP unavailable code as my steering sensor is faulty. Could that be it?

Jeez dood, just upload the video to YouTube.

Sounds like something broke in the clock spring, turn signal switch assembly, or cover.

Remove your steering wheel and inspect.

Your blinker is on

Sounds more like the sound when you enable the steering wheel lock
