Clicking/Ticking sound when I open doors?

[mdefalco25]

So, it's not every time, however, quite often, after my car has been sitting for a night, when I open any door, whether driver, trunk etc. I occasionally get this loud ticking sound in the engine bay for about 10 seconds. Unless I turn off the car, it continues to click if I open another door. I'm considering having the dealership take a look at it, but wanted to see if anybody knew what this was? I tried searching but couldn't find anything close. Thanks!

I have the same sounds. It's totally normal and just relays clicking to get things working, so that they're ready when you fire up the car. Things like the navigation system and fuel pump get up to speed so you get an (almost) instant response once you hit START.

Yeah I have the same sounds when I unlock the car. Sounds like fuel pump priming or something

My car makes all sorts of ticks and random clicks but nothing as repetitive and loud as this. Going to go double check now.

Early 2015 model with no software updates. I Haven't heard this sound type of sound at all. 19k miles. All I hear is an electronic servo sound and one or two random clicks from different locations of the car and nothing else over the course of 3 seconds or so.
