No alarm or flashing indicators, but no CCTV to check timeline when it started up. Stopped of course when the battery went very flat. I've not heard the ticking since. Nervous of course about whether it could catch me out again
Is the ticking a relay?
If the switch side of a relay is energised - wiring fault then it will pull across the relay and energise the larger current draw.
