Clicking Sound

So I just got my 2019 and after the door time out, any time you open or close the driver's door, there is an obvious clicking sound from the engine compartment. My 2017 didn't do this. Thoughts?

No one else notice this? After truck sits and you open driver's door.

Thanks

I first noticed this on the 2014 model after touching the break petal and getting out of the vehicle while turned off with no key(
I figured fuel pump,figured being key). If that sound worries you wait till your truck is running and your standing in front of it. Absolutely the worst clicking sound standing in front of my 17 6.2 at idle. sounds like the fan is hitting a hose clamp almost. gl

I have that same noise on my '17 6.2. Dealer says it's nothing out of the ordinary. No problem guys! They do all the maintenance and it's under warranty until 75K when I trade it, so if it grenades it's on them! I am curious what the noise is, but not to a point that I'm concerned.

Question

I wonder if this is a trim and/or options issue? Our 2019 F350 Lariat Ultimate clicks, but our 2017 F350 XLT Premium did not noticeably do so.

Regards,
Jim / crewzer

I was wondering the same. My new truck has the Upfitter switches, Sync 3 with Ultimate Camera and the Advance Security Pkg which my old didn't. The sound is strictly related to just opening the driver's door after the vehicle has not been touched for maybe 5 minutes or so. Doors are unlocked. No pressing of the fob. Just walk up and open the driver door. Its a relay clicking sound.

Thanks

Is this clicking noise happening while the engine is running ? Only clicking I’ve heard is the typewriter noise after my first oil change @ 3k .

Nope. Truck is not running. Just walk up and open driver's door after it has been sitting for several minutes. Relay clicking type sound from engine compartment.

Pretty much the same for me. I just went out and touched the driver's door handle to unlock the truck via Intelligent Access. When I opened the door, the usual three or four clicks (click - clacks?) emanated from the engine compartment. Haven't started the engine or driven the truck for over 12 hours.

???
