Default Main relay clicking with boost solenoid hooked up

So with the car off and key out of the car. Sounds like the main relay is clicking rapidly. When I unplug the boost solenoid the clicking stops.. Lol. It's a faint click but I'm worried it will drain my battery one day when I'm out. :/

Remember car is off no key in ignition. I know the solenoid will click under boost. Not that I can hear that but still.

Any ideas?

Aem V1, and 4 port Mac solenoid. E85 walbro pump wired into battery.

Thanks in advanced for the help

Maybe you have it wired into live?

I did have this but i had 89.9% DC in all the vacuum tables in the WG duty cycle table.

The boost soleniod will click all the time unless you set it up to not come on until 5 mph or so through the AEM. This is how mine is so you don't hear it while the car is sitting and running.

Will it click even with the car off? Key not in the car.

And it sounds like the main relay clicking. Like under the dash, doesn't sound like it's coming from passenger side by radiator.

It will if you wired it to constant power (instead of 12v+ switched). If it sounds like it's coming from the dash, but guess would be the main relay.

Yeah, it sounds as though you have the boost solenoid wired to constant instead of switched. I don't know why you have a factory relay clicking because the boost solenoid is what should be clicking.

Hmm I'll have to take a look then. Thanks for the advice I'll fix it later today. I wasn't the one who wired it in so I can't comment on where it is right this second

Make sure you have the solenoid wired to the 12v ignition output, and not the constant output.
