I have the same problem with my LS400. I haven't made any mods though and today I noticed when I hit the brake, it makes a click/tick noise, which maybe lasts for half a second. I was thinking it had to possibly do with a relay? Not too sure what is going on - any suggestions?

What exactly is the servo motors? I have noise from my dash aswell. I hear it all the time, sounds like a little robot under my dash. Lol, but seriously it does.
