Hello

I have a battery drain issue
Checked the modules last night
They seem okay except the CARB module was warm
Then this morning with the ignition key off
I hear this clicking noise coming from the fuse box area
Took off the fuses and placed them back and it still has the noise
Does anyone know what that might be?
 
This morning, no keys in the ignition, I can hear fast clicking sounds coming from the fuse box.
I removed a few fuses and put it back and the clicking noise still persists
Remove the plastic cover and locate the exact relay which is clicking - this will help diagnose further.



I checked the modules and the only one that was warm was the CARB located in the passenger seat
What could that be?
The diagnostic connector appears clean with no corrosion
Try disconnecting the CARB module and see if there's any difference. A defective DM could possibly cause the battery drain. This is not common, but I've encountered one or two over the years. If you rule out everything else I'd look closer at the diagnostic connector, just in case...
