Battery's dead. Car ran fine 2-3 days ago after I changed a oil catch can line and tested it by starting it up listening for air leaks. Before that the car sat about a week after a auto cross event. I just put it on a charger and I hear this clicking now which is what killed the battery. So with the car sitting over the past day or so something electrical broke some how making a connection and my baby LED's on the front and rear lights on the sides are blinking in sync with the sound. I pull this little clip and the sound stops. Hmmmm

Slap an OBD reader on there and see what it says.

If OBD doesn't give you any clues, disconnect LEDs (and any other non-factory wiring) and see what happens.

If unwiring the LEDs doesn't help, see if you can tell which relay is clicking and look it up in the FSM.


Edit: It sounds like you are not familiar with electricity. This may be a hands-on job. Find a friend that can troubleshoot the problem for you and offer them a meal/drinks for the help.

I hate things like that. Specially electrical problems. Try disconnecting stuff (to troubleshoot) and find the problem. Sounds easier than done I know. Or take it to a reliable shop so they can pinpoint the issue and maybe fix it?

Got it. Thanks Ark. When you said LED I went right there. Mine are hard wired into the fuse box by the left foot well. My foot must of hit the power wire. It was dangling and causing the issue. Not sure anymore what ACC fuse that was in but it's a 15amp one. I believe it's the LED one because I remember doing 15amps because that's what they run off of. I gotta find a better tap source. Those pig tail taps never work.
