I just hear a clicking noise under the dash and a slight clunk in the door like it is trying to activate the lock in the drivers door

yes there is a aluminum box about 6"x6"x2" just left of the brake pedal mounted on the fire wall has 3 or 4 plugs of wires coming out of it .When I hit the switch on the drivers door you can hear a clicking noise coming out of this box and put your hand on it and you can feel the click???
