Default relay clicking???

driving the estate last night i noticed every so often theres a relay clicking on and off behind the dash, maybe at 2 min intervals it clicks on then goes off again after 30secs, isnt the fuel pump relay or ke relay so what else could it be???

Try and take a passenger so they can feel which one it is, at least then you will know which circuit it's on, but if regular time interval click won't be anything to worry about most likely.

Would certainly account for the noise, but no idea where they are/position on your car.
