Default Clicking Relays

Hello everyone, I just recently did an exhaust bypass mod when I was done I slapped the whole car back together and boom this clicking noise starts to happen when I started the car. the whole time from the passenger footwell there is a constant clicking coming from relays also I can not use my turnsignals they just bug out and my dash lights slightly flicker. One last thing every time I lock the car the alarm goes off. I did some research and some people say its the battery its not I put in a new one. Any other ideas.

Clicking replays are normally caused by high resistance in either the power or ground side of a relay !!…start checking the relays in the IPC fusebox in the passenger footwell for the offending relay or relays !!

Any ground wires disconnected during the work you did? Sometimes a main ground lug left off can cause that kind of thing.

Clicking relays mean that the relays do not have full battery voltage across the relay coil, you said new battery but have you put a meter and measured battery voltage.
