Car makes a clicking sound underneath the dashboard. Car will not start until clicking stops, it usally clicks longer when it is colder outside. When car is making clicking sound the security light and seatbelt light on dash are the lights that flicker insync with the clicking. As the clicking slows down so does the flickering of the lights. When the security and seatbelt light turn solid, clicking stops at same time and then the car will start, any information about this would be really helpful, I have been trying to figure this out for quite awhile now, I replaced the battery, because I thought it was weak, but this did not help.

Thank-you

Kinda sounds like a bad body control module. Get the module checked.I believe is located under passenger side dash behind glove box. Easy to remove. Its just a box might be metal or newer cars is black plastic but I think ur car is metal but its behind glove box. Body control modules control cluster info, alarm security interior lights etc. Get it checked out. If bad sometimes it wont let u turn on your car.

Sorry forgot to tell u, if its that your problem then just get one used from a junkyard car I think 93 to 96 any size engine is the same v6 or v8 just make sure the numbers match. And if u canot find this part go to ebay it will run about 40 to 70 bucks and u might have to take it to a shop to get it reprogrammed. Sometimes. Well just incase this is ur prob hopefully its something more simple. Good luck
