#8 of 13 possible brake noise by geodak Jul 23, 2007 (8:02 am)
I got a 96 grand marquis, 58k, and recently (last 2 months) a strange noise appeared, coming from the right side, possibly the rear right wheel. The noise sounds like a loud clicking and it shows up when I brake, but only just a moment before I come to a full stop. As soon as the car starts moving at low speed it might click a few more times, and as I accelerate it goes away. Is this related to the brakes, like brake pads being worn down, or is it something else? Help is appreciated Replies to this message: euphonium (Jul 23, 2007 12:02 pm) geodak (Jul 24, 2007 6:47 am)

Replying to: geodak (Jul 23, 2007 8:02 am) At 58k you have new tires and new tires pick up small rocks. Use a screwdriver to pry out all the rocks between the treads and then test drive it. Replies to this message: geodak (Jul 24, 2007 6:47 am)

#11 of 13 Re: Brake problem with 98 Grand Marquis [omefrans] by rls2 Feb 04, 2008 (5:16 pm)
Replying to: omefrans (Oct 25, 2006 4:58 pm) Have the same problem. It is the traction control energizing inappropriatly. Our GM has been doing this off and on for several years - no one, even FORD can fix it. It spent several days at the dealer, hooked up to a computer and they fixed it for about a year - by nthen it was off warentee.   It now has over 200,000 miles on it and we will keep it foreveras o ur spare.   We bought a 2003 GM (and kept this one also) but that had a button to turn on or off the traction control.   Guess what I did to stop the problem   RLS

Replying to: phxaz602 (Mar 19, 2008 7:48 pm) Sounds like you have a problem with a wheel sensor or a toner ring. When you step on the brakes the computer looks at the sensor and toner rings at the wheels. The sensor could have a break in a wire or you could have a cracked toner ring giving your computer a false reading. That would tell your computer to engage the "Hold release apply cycle" which is the noise your hearing. I took my car to Meineke and they had it fixed in a day. The shop would need a good scanner and a good Tec. My does. So the first thing you need to do is get the car scanned by some one who knows how to interpret what he's reading.
