Clicking sound when using rear defroster?

SalsaPura · 12-26-2006, 10:29 AM

I have a 2006 325i and when I press the button that activates the rear defroster, I get a single click sound. When I depress the button to deactivate the rear defroster I get another click sound. It sounds like it's coming from the glovebox compartment area.

Everything works fine, but I was just wondering if it's just my car or do other people have the click sound as well?

For all the 2006 325i owners out there:

Do you hear a faint, single click sound when you depress the button?
