electrical problem

I get a weird clicking sound when the lights are off. Its goes away when I turn the lights on. What do you think I should do.

22 second Vid attached.

(at 9 seconds you can really hear the weird sound)




2003 F350 gas

I've never heard anything like that before. It's hard to even guess without putting an ear under there and following the sound. I would be just grabbing at straws but it could be a chattering relay but I wouldn't know where to start without some schematics and following the sound.

I don't know what the wires are for but if it were me I would disconnect/remove any aftermarket wiring in that area or associated with the lights and see if that does anything.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
