Default Strange noise when engine shut off

When I was cleaning out the Jeep yesterday I had the key turned on so i could hear the radio...then everyonce in a while i would hear this clicking noise under the hood,(prolly once a minute) sounded like something opening and closing...anyone know what it might be?

It's just a relay clicking.
Mine does it too, won't hurt anything.
Might be a time out on the dome light or something.

Yeah they all do it, was parked next to a river last year fishing, and it drove me nuts the first time. I asked then, I think. Seems to be more prevalent on sentry key systems.
