Since i installed my subs and amp, the black box on the rear wall of my screw has made a clicking sound. It drains the battery. Help! Update: i messed around with it. there are two clips coming out bottom. if even one is removed it stops clipping. if i stick the key in and turn to on position, clicking stops but car wont even attempts to start or show signs of battery life.

 

come on guys my truck is pretty much worthless untill i figure this out

 

its not your slider motor is it?

 

no its like the factory alarm box i think. it is on the driver side closest to door. it stops the car from working at all if unplugged.

 

Probably the Vehicle Security Module if it is on the rear wall of the cab on the driver's side.

 

no one knows why it would be clicking?

 

Why wouldnt you just unhook the system and rewire it "correctly"? I assume something you hooked up is making it click. Not to be a d###, Ive done some goofy s### myself and when i pulled it apart I was asking myself WTF was I thinking.

 

lol if i knew how to rewire it correctly and make it stop i wouldnt be posting this. ive tried things and none worked.

 

Where did you ground the amp?

 

How did you install the subs and amp??? Do you have a stock HU? Was there a factory system in it?

no i have a new head unit. im pretty sure everything is wired right because it was working for awhile then the box started clicking and it wouldnt work. i grounded the amp on the back wall too.

 

so what exactly did you do when "you messed with it?"

 

I just went through something similar, althought i didn't have a sound system wired up. You have a draw somewhere within your wiring.

The ticking issue: What I'm guessing is happening is that the the battery is quickly going dead and when it hits the where it drops below the required voltage and can't supply enough power to keep a the realy of the VSM in the closed position, the relay opens and you hear a click. But then when it closes, there's a minor surge of power so it causes the relay to close again and you hear another click. This is happening over and over... eventually it will slow down and stop when the battery gets low enough.

To solve the problem I put a toggle switch in and only have it on when I am running the truck.

 

ahh that sounds right. where did u put the toggle switch in? is a draw hard to find?
