    Passenger side against the firewall with what looks like vacuum lines running off. Cant for the life of me seem to find an engine bay diagram with a label for it. Anyway, its ticking.... even when the car is off. Stops when the battery is disconnected. Any idea as to what might be going on?

    Looks like the ABS module for your brakes. What is it doing? Running while the key is out of the ignition?

    Nervermind, still waking up and reading comprehension isn’t quite to my fullest potential.

    Does this sound like your symptoms?

    same location, but different sound. Mines a constant click that continues even after the engine is off, key is removed, and only goes away when the battery is disconnected. It almost sounds like something is stuck and repeatedly trying to unstick, but what i dont get is that my ABS light is off, the brakes work fine..... nothing has popped up as different because of it... its just super annoying.

    Aside an incredible audio system everything is oem. No mods done.
    Maybe one of your abs lines may be clogged. I’m just throwing it out there. Don’t take my word for it though....I just thought a simple suggestion may help. Good luck buddy.

    thanks, just took it through 60 miles of road, hard & loose dirt, mud, water, and snow and everything seems to be fine. Guess i can just replace it whenever i get the extra cash. I'll check for clogged lines though and report back, thats not a bad idea.

    Also have you tried ruling that specific part out? As to what makes the noise? Maybe it can be the wiper motor that may be making a short circuit and it’s gives you that problem. Or also since the power antena is adjacent to it maybe it’s not going down all the way it should......I mean those may be some things to look into before breaking our head over an expense that is not necessary at the moment...Good luck in your findings.
