Have to say that i never hear a clicking when they are on. it makes the car whistle slightly but i think thats due to the amount of power being sucked from the battery. get it checked out by a dealer, then they can fob u off like me

Are you by any chance talking about when it is very cold??

I get a ticking when the screen is icy but I just think its the scren expanding as it gets warmer.

When things freeze they contract afterall.

Maybe thats your problem?
