Default Tapping noise coming from dash

Okay so I've looked up and looked up and I can't find anything. Everyone hears a noise from there passenger but there is a tapping noise coming from under my steering wheel. It's only sounds when I have it on "on" (not cranked) and when the engine is running. 2003 gs 300 with 142,000 miles. Please help thanks a lot in advance

Don't mean to be simplistic, but had the same kind of tapping. Turned out to be the keys hitting the dash.

Thanks lol I had that with my last car and I know that's not the problem now because I have the key by itself. Thanks I appreciate it

Is it a continuous tapping?

Check and make sure your foglights aren't blinking on and off rapidly.

Sounds silly...but when that happens the relay taps continuously

I'll check tommorw. And yes it's a continuous. The only time it stops is when the key isint on "on"

Can you distinguish the noise from your brake booster cycling?
