Like 8vette7 said in your other thread... you need to post specifics about your car. Year, transmission, coupe, vert, FRC, Z06? Mileage, mods... the more info the better.

Why shouldn't relays make some noise when they change state from being powered to being not powered? And, if you don't make a clean "break" with the battery you are just cycling the relays on and off.
