Ralliart clicking?

My 09 RA started to do it after I turned it off. I took the word of others on the forum about it being ABS etc... Well until one day when I got a service engine soon light and my tail-lights were on and the switch was off. I took it to the dealer and its a electrical problem with MFI Relays and some others relays. Its in the shop now and Im driving a effin kia rio...lol. I advise you all to take it in and have it checked out. The technician found a note in there service computers about condensation being built up in the relays and such. I STRONGLY advise you to take this info and get it checked out.

Its the catalytic converter that makes the clicking noise.

Its electrical dude. I disconnected the battery while it was clicking and it stopped. Catalytic converter is not the problem. good looking out though.

It works in line with the ECU from what I understand or what they explained to me. I think its a another computer or sorts or something that regulates the voltage distribution, any way thats what it was. Called the ETAC.

ETACS is basically the accessory computer for the car. if there's a problem there, it can cause all sorts of funny issues
