1993 850Ci - is this sound normal?

[tommydogs]

Ignition switch at position #2 (dashboard lights on, engine off). Triangulated between fuse box, + jump terminal, and "leaf tray" below the hood vents, I am hearing a clicking, about every two seconds. Is this normal? If so, what is it?

Sounds like it could be your heater valves, mine do the same thing.

That's not normal, expected behavior, is it?
