"Clicking" sound behind Instrument Cluster???
2001 F-350 w/7.3L. I'm hearing what I describe as a "clicking" noise behind the instrument cluster/panel Kind of sounds like a geiger counter going off, or nylon gears slipping. It is intermittent to steady depending on the steering column tilt adjustment! Lower, and it is almost steady and tilted up and more intermittent. Maybe a few seconds between. And it never goes away.
It DOES stop when I use either turn signal, flashers are on, or even the brakes. VERY annoying. Sounds seems to emanate from directly behind the speedometer. Doesn't matter if I am stopped or at freeway speeds.
What is it?

Here's the latest . . . I pulled the access panel below steering column and would push and pull harnesses while driving and the "Geiger counter" going off. And it stopped when pulling on the big one under there. If I push up, it would make that noise. If I pulled down, it would stop. Now I need to trace it back and from conectors to see if they are the origins of the sound. Getting closer anyway.
Weirdest part of all . . . stopped making noise whenever turnsignals/flashers/or brake light were engaged!
