Clicking sound

[Wine dude]

So my car has off it’s battery tender for 4 days and battery was low, I connected the tender which appears to be working but I hear a rhythmic ticking coming from the front of the hood. 2 ticks every few seconds. Should I be concerned?

Any chance you can post a video or sound clip of the noise?

Maybe use your ear to narrow down where it’s coming from. Maybe a relay in the fuse box? If you lock and unlock your car with the key fob, does anything change? Can you start the car?

It might be the throttle body, the electric ones like to cycle themselves as a calibration mode. Battery being charged probably triggered it.

Battery is dead, opens but will not start. So I need to replace it. Does anyone remember what the replacement battery is ?

Might be worth disconnecting the battery from the car and letting it sit on the charger overnight before replacing it.
