Clicking sound from center console when brakes applied.
hello all,
I own a 98 GS400 and I just noticed that I hear a clicking sound coming from my center console when I apply the brakes. It goes "click" right as the brake lights come on. Does anyone else exhibit this behavior?
thanks,
Michael

maybe??...
does this "click" come when the car is in park?? i know that when you press on the brakes, while in park, the shift lock is deactivated when you press on the brakes and that is the "click" that you hear... hope that helps
EDIT: o yea, and WELCOME TO CL!!!... i hope you have a never ending supply of money

I actually brought it into the Lexus dealership one day (still under guarantee), and they told me that the click came from the delay. It should happen to all GS. The mechanic told me that the new 2003 also has that noise. Anyway, that click sound is very minimal. Since I know it was the delay, my sub-conscious brain no long heard the click. . Strange, but true. Our car is so well insulated that any noise inside the car becomes noticeable.

Yep, it must be the shift lock disengaging because I don't hear the click once the car is in drive. Thanks for all the feedback! My second post as I've been a lurker for around a year now.
thanks, Michael
