1. Nathalie Says: So as soon as I turn on the key a DOUBLE clicking sound comes from the front passenger side. It continues while i am driving. Like a DOUBLE clicking sound every few seconds. Its a bit higher than an indicator sound.

What can that be? Thanks alot

If this might be of help...I havent changed my battery in 7 years...but it never gave me any problems though...
2. The-Razors-Edge Says: Sounds sort of like a relay that is having trouble staying engaged. The circuit for that relay could be shorting out intermittently or something. It's best to open the relay box under the hood and touch each relay as the clicking occurs. You should be able to feel which one it is.
As for your battery, it wouldn't hurt to get it tested. Batteries normally hold out anywhere from 4 to 7 years, so it might be possible that your battery is nearing the end of its service life and will need to be changed soon. This could also be the cause for the double clicking relay sound.
