Brake Accumulator?

Been chasing a draw on the battery with my eyes—shoulda been using my ears. Constant clicking sound under the drivers side dash is clearly(?) the culprit. Brake boost accumulator?

it sounds like a relay to me, are the blinkers on?

Sounds like the Factory [dealer] installed alarm. It makes this sound when the power is restored after a dead battery.

Interesting! Went back out to check and indeed it was click-clacking on beat with the flashing factory alarm light. (Also same beat as the blinkers - definitely checked those!)

recently had to replace the ECU on account of it had basically melted. Wonder if the new board isn’t talking correctly to the alarm. Annoying because the truck is running fantastic otherwise!

The alarms were installed by the dealerships after the monteros arrived off the ship from Japan so they are not of the best quality in my opinion. ”Shovel” had a write up on the ADD forum on how to remove it. I think that forum no longer exists though. Theres a black box usually zip tied to the bottom of the steering column, I believe this is the brain of the alarm from which you could trace out the wires for removal. Be careful as one set is for a starter disable circuit.
