Default Interior Clicking When Starting C7

Hey everyone,

Has anyone experienced a clicking from behind the drivers side seat in the rear hatch area when either turning the vehicle into accessory mode or even when starting/stopping the engine? I may be wrong but I think this just started in my C7 Z51 3LT today, I also notice that the same area makes a clicking noise from the exterior when attempting to open the passenger door (which doesn't open unless all doors are unlocked), it made me instantly think of the battery so I have attached the Battery Tether to the car in case it needs charging.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or input

Not sure exactly what you are hearing.

The electric fuel pump is right behind the driver's seat. The fuel pump is more of a hum.

The fuel door lock motor makes about 3 loud clicks when the driver's door is unlocked. It is also just behind the driver's seat.

Both are normal.
