There is a clicking noise coming from near/around my PCM in the engine bay that cycles every 30 seconds or so non-stop when the engine is off. It started after installing a series of upgrades. The car drives fine, but I have to disconnect the battery at night in order to prevent it from draining. Has anyone else had this experience, and if so, how did they solve it?

Seems obvious. Your upgrades aren't really an upgrade are they? Work the problem backwards until you resolve it. That means uninstalling whatever you did.

Check and make sure the key is far enough away

My wife’s sport will do this anytime someone walks near on Proximity Unlock if her keys are on the Kitchen counter

Key is far away. This seems to be some test that can’t complete and keeps turning over. I figure someone here has experienced this and solved it.

Looks like this is coming from the ebb module. (Not anything I upgraded) Anyone here have issues with the ebb not going to sleep?
