My Lens goes "click click click" when trying to auto focus

[lilartroom]

Good day eh!

I've got a Nikkor AF-S 18-55 lens. The one that comes with a d40.

Sometimes, it seems like it gets stuck when trying to focus. Makes a slight clicking noise and just won't go. So I put it into manual mode and just turn the focus ring in and out.

Sometimes that works sometimes it doesn't. Suggestions or ideas?

Thanks.

I fixed the problem with a simple solution

Same problem here with a Nikon D3200... So what is that simple solution?

I called Nikon and they guided me through the steps of resetting my Nikon D5100 and my auto focus started back working on all 3 of my lenses.
