Hmmmmm
I’m taking it in soon to get some things installed. I’ll have them check it out. Thanks!
Probably the hybrid battery cooling system.
That would make sense. I notice right after driving.
You were in the store and your wife noticed it, Was she in the truck or in the store. Maybe if she was in the truck you should not have the key, she should. Just a thought.
She was in the truck. If I leave the key she might steal my truck and never return!
Constant happening
When your key gets out of range the hybrid will shut down and part of the shutting down is continuation of battery temperature modulation once 12v battery is charged and battery is at proper temperature the computer will disconnect the HVB connectors (apparently sounds similar to door locking sounds). If she is using 12v current when 12v SOC requires charging HVB will provide current to do so (I do not know if any audible clicking can happen for this). For constant locking/unlocking of doors it might be that she is sitting in the seat and the computer senses that and unlocks the doors but then doesn't sense the key fob and thinks she got out so it locks the doors but then if she is in seat (?)... it is then in a loop
. Of course if you are barely in key fob range the key fob signal could possibly be causing the door locking/unlocking (???).
Oh yeah, for sure. If it's a hybrid, that's what it does. I'm so used to it, I don't notice it anymore.I have read in a few other Hybrid threads here that there's some clicking within the Hybrid system as it shuts down, (relays, etc).
Sorry I can't remember the titles of those threads, but I'm sure someone will chime in with a more detailed info. Or maybe do a search for " Hybrid clicking" or other similar words in this website's search feature.
In the meantime enjoy your new ride!!! And many of us future Hybrid owners would love to hear about your fuel mileage as you put more miles on it, how it rides and drives, etc...we're living vicariously through you.
Have a Lariat Lux EB and I noticed this when I was washing the truck and walking around it with my keys in my pocket. It sounds like electronic door locking or something similar.
