    It was a fun way to spend a few months. I was worried the engine was blown when I bought it because of how loud the fan clutch and alternator were. But it all worked out.

    I found that if you slide the switch that you use to adjust the mirrors to the middle you can turn this feature off. Mine actually stopped doing the clicking after i washed it i think some debris was stuck in there so i didn’t further look in to it.

    Just checked it, and my mirror setting was set to the middle. Once I clicked it to the right, the mirror started working but the mirror started clicking when it started to angle down. Hopefully if I wash the rig, mine will stops clicking too. Haha
