Darryl, hopefully someone here has an answer.
I have the set and one of my reefers makes the clicking noise when power is applied to the track. I took the shell off and applied power hoping to see something rubbing or being impeded that I could try to fix. The sound seemed to come from the circuit board. I saw nothing moving or attempting to move and haven't pursued it because it only happens for a few seconds when the power is applied. |

I have 7 of those cars, they all do that on power up. Johnny |

Thank you for responding. Very interesting. I only have the one making the noise, the others are all silent when power is applied. LOL if you get one that's quiet we can trade. |

That is until Cajun johnny told me how to fix the car. You need to have the door open, then take the shell off. On the right side of the open door you'll see a black switch with red and yellow wires going into it. You have to remove the switch, it has two screws holding it to the side of the door. I needed my glasses and a lot of light to do this. The black switch has a metal piece on it. Underneath the metal piece, about an 1/8 of an inch from the top, if you look real hard, you will see a small "thingy" :-)--(micro switch?) that the metal piece presses against. You have to bend the metal piece away from the switch, Johnny says, "very carefully." I bent the piece 3-4 times (very slightly and carefully) before I got it right. Screw the switch back into place. I didn't put the shell back on until the 4th time I tested the car and finally no more clicking on power up. Perhaps Johnny, or someone else who knows the correct names of the parts I tried to describe can clarify what I wrote. |
