heres the deal. i just insalled a new fmic and doing a 2gb bumper swap. well my head lights and all are disconnected of course but when i open a door or the hatch a loud clicking starts coming from my fuse box and i think its coming from the head lamp fuse. i pulled the fuse and it still does the clicking just not as loud. :confused:WTF dude. any ideas.
 
It sounds to me like the relays are clicking.
When it does this, go to your relay box, and hold your hand on the noisy one, it will pulse.
Relays are supposed to click, but not over and over. So it sounds like you could have a bad relay.
That or you have a bad battery. Clean the terminals, and get back to me on it.
It could fix it.
I hope I could help.

This man speaks the truth, points given :) I would first suspect a relay about to go bad, more than anything. Have a buddy be the 'cause' of the problem (open the door, whatever) and rest your palm over all of the relays to see which one vibrates.
