Answer -
OK, The most common problem that is at fault when you have multiple problems in the same area is that there is a LOOSE or disconnected BLACK GROUND wire at fault.

What mechanical work or ANY KIND of electrical work or addition or replacement of radios, etc, etc, has been performed on the vehicle recently ?. As most problems that occur after a recent repair was made can be traced back to the area of where the repair was made as a wire connection came loose and or in ost cases a GROUND wire is loose.

Look around in the area where work was performed.

Also, Let me know EVERY component that is NOT working properly.


autohelp          yes i thank you for your reply so fast and i was thinking the same thing....i added a radio into the car about a month ago and what i did was unhooked it compleatly and then tried again with no raidio in the car and it still continued the problem....the relay is controlling the windows from what i can tell thats all its controlling...so when i turn the car off and the relay is making its noises i push on the power window button and the window is getting energy everytime it flickers on and off and the key is not even in..could it be that behind the fuse block on the passenger side...somehow the wires were heating up and begain melting the plastic on the fuse block?...but yes otherwise i havent had to do any mechanical work on the car now for some time...i changed a mount a trans mount the right front one...thats about it...well i thank you for the help

Answer
OK, So now the ONLY problem you have is a clicking noise at the window controller ?. There is NO RELAY for the power windows, Only a circuit breaker IN the fuse panel that can make a clicking ON and OFF sound.

If you had wires melting behind the fuse box you would smell them burning. What makes you think that this could be your problem ?.

I can provide you with  the necessary information IF you are able to read electrical scahematics and perform some simple electrical test procedures.
