That's really strange, I have the exact same sound but my ticking sound is coming from the SSV actuator...

Off Topic...

Liked the Australian Video of the Politician Interview about the "front of the ship falling off"...

You know it is a comedy sketch, and the bald guy is not a Politician, boy are these guys funny and Young in this skit..

They are still doing it even today, every Thursday night on the 7.30 Report.
An Australian political and news show (30 minutes) on ABC1...7.30PM

Their names are John Clarke and Brian Dawe, the bald guy is a New Zealander.

They will be on again tonight, considerably older and still funny..

Hey guys; I hear a clicking sound too; it seems to come from where the throttle body is. When I switch my climate control off from front defogger/defroster (which I think uses the AC for some reason) the clicking goes away. Does that make sense/help?

Are you serious??

It is your Air Conditioner's "Compressor's Clutch" cutting In and Out (Off and ON), and is TOTALLY Normal.
