Default weird ticking

just nticed when i get in my saff theres a weird tyicking for about 15 secs then it goes. happens when you open the doors?????

jump in, tick tick tick, finally stops, then open the door and starts again, dunno if its always been there, but only noticed it the other day. does not coincide with the light delay or anything. maybe its the alarm, its a sigma cat1

anyone have any ideas?

cheers

very confused rory
