Default Tick , tick

Either I never noticed or my hearings improved. I hear a tick , tick behind in the center of the upper console when I get in the car. It shuts off after a while. What is it? The light timer maybe ? I dont have a clock.

Check your signal light switch. Mine goes tick-tick when I have the signal light on.

Seriously, I have no idea. Maybe a relay in there somewhere? What frequency does it tick?

Listen to the noise and if it turns off when the interior light turns off, you have your answer. If not, keep looking.
