click, click goes a relay.....
not used to all the electronics in these newer corvettes, every time I walk close to my C 5 I hear a relay clicking, no light flashing, nothing, both key fobs are set to "off" , I just changed both batterys in my key fobs so I feel this is a "self inflicted " problem. Thanks for any help rendered, DOUG

I believe they are referring to the passive switch on the key fob. If my memory is correct this was available 97-99, 200 and up didn't have this option.
Also when he mention that both fobs are set to off I thought this is what he was referring to. If that is the case you might just want to make sure and switch them on and off again.

Does your horn normally beep when you lock your doors with fob? That would narrow it down if your passive feature is causing the clicking noise (doors locking/unlocking). I had that issue when I first got my car. I cleaned the contacts inside the fobs for the passive feature and resolved my issue. And since you replaced batteries in the fob did your relearn them through the DIC. Post #11 will explain that if you have not. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...m-key-fob.html
