Hybrid Maverick constantly clicking, clunking, switches sounds

[BluegrassNbass]

Doing paper work and engine off key out and this truck is constantly clicking clunky switches open close ticky ticky. Every 45seconds or so. It almost sounds like electric doors unlock and lock superfast mutiple times and clunk one time underhood. Weird to think it might do this all night or something. So hybrid owners is this new noises for me? I have never been in a hybrid vehicle other than this one.
It might've finally stopped. Going to sit here little longer lol.

All normal. All the time. Even when sitting in the garage or parked. It's "stirring the tanks" like on Apollo 13.

Mine does it as well.

Maverick and many vehicles have "retained power" which keeps certain circuits on after you shut off your vehicle- radio keeps playing, power windows still work- plus the vehicle is reading various settings and levels. Eventually it shuts down these circuits to limit battery drain. That would be my guess on the hybrid or the ecoboost.

On both eco and hybrid and most other newer cars.

Go ahead and change the battery before you get the constant "deep sleep."

Why? The clicking is normal.

But all it took was duct tape to fix it.

According to one of the Ford engineers who worked on it, that's relays opening, basically allowing coolant to flow to various parts of the battery to cool it down. Helps to significantly prolong battery life by preventing the battery from getting too hot.

Yup, weird but normal, even without a key being present

So that’s what that sound is.
I thought it only happened when the key fob came near the truck, but I thought I heard it clicking even when I didn’t have the fob on me.

I’ll quit talking to it when it’s in the garage. I’ll go back to talking to myself.

mine does it too. Scared the crap out of me the first night when I was working on the truck outside. I though a raccoon sneaked up on me.

My 2020 Shelby does that also. i was told my car cycles every 5 hours to keep pressure in the fuel rails.
Just what i was told
