Since i m deaf.

Kind of need your help since my wife has no CLUE about trucks/cars noise but she noticed theres "soft" clicking by passeneger side by Fender ( i have 5.4L) at idle.

Is it Cam phaser TSB ??

My engine runs like a champ...no sign of loss etc...

Thanks!

I noticed this as well. Further investigation revealed a relay cycling on and off in the right kick panel- (fuse block). Some kind of control- associated with air conditioner? My truck seems to have no apparent issues- so I don't worry about it.

 

I believe kize is right about this one, I noticed when i have my music completely off if i turn on brights / air conditioning or anything electrical I hear a very soft clicking noise coming from the fuse panel near passenger floorboard. I was cleaning out my truck this week and i opened that thing up on accident and it was such a pain putting the cover back on. I was getting real frustrated...Probably because I am a little slow

I wouldnt worry if there isn't anything noticeably wrong with the truck.

 

I see....She said she hardly hear clicking when inside, window closed and everything AC radio etc off...she only can hear if she stand outside by front passenger fender area...

Oh well...but i called dealer and talked to Service mgr and he seems doesnt surprise at all and already made an appt for March 1st cuz of loaner car plus i ll be away on vacation in 2 weeks..

Thanks!

Dunno if it helps you to feedback with me..

Since its nice weather outside...I had my wife to stand by fender outside to listen, either idle or rev up 1-2K RPM and the clicking is steady the same sounds and unchange..

Does it help to feedback whats it ?

I had this feeling its not Cam Phaser...since she has to get CLOSE to metal fender to listen it..

Thanks!

I want to be deaf too! Therefore I don't have to listen to all the strange noises my truck has to it

 

LOL !

Yoman,

This sounds exactly like the problem I was having, they replaced the cam phaser and no more ticking.

Here is the link of my original post on this issue.

I let the dealer know that there was a TSB pending on this clicking nosie. They oredered the parts and had it fixed in two days. This was two weeks ago, no clicking noise since then.

 

Hello again,

I talked to few people and they said it definintly sound like fuel injectors so i talked to my dealer that i TRUST THE MOST and i asked him to start up other F150 on parking lot and he said its the same sounds.

Even i went to local ford dealership with my wife and i asked one of saleman to start up the motor 5.4 and she listen to it while salesman stand and puzzled then said " what you are hear thats from fuel injectors noise which is normal...so i asked other truck to start up, same thing..Salesman seems very friendly..

The mechical person and salesman said that if its ticking a bit loud than fuel injectors then its cam phaser and theres TSB for it...even i DID NOT ask or anything about Cam Phaser TSB, i was a bit surprised they said it cuz its not usually.

So its normal...i checked other thread.. like this one https://www.f150online.com/forums/sh...highlight=fuel

Thanks!
