So I am having a problem with my 2003 GTX 4tec. There is a clicking noise that is coming out of the engine bay, right near the top of the engine where what I believe is the starter switch. It makes the noise constantly, about once every 10 seconds anytime the battery is connected, (it does not only do it when pressing the ignition). Furthermore, it is not merely an electrical issue because I can actually feel a small vibration coming from the mechanical switch so it is actually kicking over. Here the thing, unlike most forums I've read, in my case the engine will actually crank and start up just fine. It will even run fine; however, while the engine is running, even then the same clicking will continue. Whatever it is is killing my batteries by constantly draining them. I have already replaced the starter solenoid thinking it was that but nothing changed. It has to be some kind of switch throwing a mechanical ignition of some kind?
