1998 Honda Accord won't start. Hear electrical clicking sound coming from behind the glove box area. What could be causing this?

-There are couple thing that cause not to start:
*Before check the following, make sure battery is full of charge.
1. No thing at all. Possible Corrosion battery cable or bad connector or starter relay. (Visual Inspect it) Clean it or tight it
2.Click but never turn or start. Starter has dirty contact or worn out. (Replace W/new one)

Good luck

2004 santa se 2.4L Temp gauge reads normal, but heat from vents excesivlly hot.will not start after running for a while until it sits 1/2 hr.

There is a blower control resistor (manual system) or a blower transistor (automatic temp system) located behind the glove compartment in the HVAC box and this is a high failure item.

2001 Volvo s40 seems to stall and not start for ten to 15 min. Also has high temperature reading that is false as car is not really hot.

You need to look at the temp sending unit it's probably faulty anthor issue with volvo is dirty throttle body's this raises havoc on the car they idle up down all over the map also you should change the thermostat too as a precautionary measure make sure it's the right temp for your year of your car thanx Chris

No start cold

temp sensor failed. could be the air intake sensor... or the ecu temp sensor falling... easy to find out if intake sensor failing. before starting on a cold morning. or under 10 degrees.. unhook the air pipe and blow with your breath over the sensor put back and start engine. if engine starts fine then that's your problem.

I have a 2005 Grand Cherokee Larado with manual temperature control of the heater output temperature. Regardless of the position of the heater temperature control, the heater discharge air temperature is...

Sounds like its the mixing door actuator motor. I believe its located behind your glove box, so if you remove your glove box you should be able to see it. Its a motor that actuates the mixing door to allow only hot, only cool, or a combination of the two into the vehicle. If you can get at it and the door seems to be able to move freely, you may want to check the heater control switch for voltage change using a multimeter. Im 99% sure it is one of these two culprits. Either the actuator motor or the switch. Good luck!

Ford focus wont start no spark changed coil and crank shaft sensor any ideas had diagnostics done its coming up code p1000 OBDII systems check incomplete its not the timing belt cause i got it checked

sounds like your main computer has gone bad,the error code means it cant read the CPU, buy a used one from the junk yard with a return policy, If that does not get the car running you can return it..It should be located in the lower right side of the dash, behind the glove box

Temp gauge bouncing

First, try checking the connections behind the dash that link together at the temperature gauge and make sure they haven't torn or ripped. If that doesn't help, then check/replace all the sensors which relate temperature to the gauge, ie: air temperature sensor, coolant temperature sensor, etc...Hope this helps, good luck.
