    After getting my windshield replaced by safelite I have been having very odd clicking / ticking / buzzing sounds coming from behind the dash / instrument panel. I also hear a click every time I press my brake in. Lastly, when I use my wipers I hear a slight click by the wiper knob right behind the steering wheel.

    I am 100% sure these noises were not present before have the windshield replaced. It seems like maybe a short or blown fuse during the windshield replacement but I have no idea what it is.

    Also the first time safelite tried to replaceme my windshield they couldn't calibrate the Toyota safety sense behind the rear view mirror. They had me take the truck home for a few days until they made another appointment. During those few days I had very odd sounds coming from the truck as well.

    Have you called Safelite yet? That is where I would start. Especially if it wasn't doing it before the replacement. Sounds like they missed something.

    Other than the noises, does everything else work?

    I believe so. The only issue I see sometimes is that the auto head lights take quite a while to turn off. When I am am parked in my garage they turn on and when I drive out onto the road on a sunny day they will take like 5 min to turn off.

    Do you have anything placed over the light sensor on the right side of the dash, even partially? This might address the headlight issue, but nothing else.
