help me identify this clicking noise

My gf kept saying she heard this noise every 2-3 days when turning on the car, never happens to me so she made a video.

Started after the luxlink install but not sure how much after....can anyone help me identify it?

That's the LuxLink.

Mine does that too sometimes. Don't know why, and doesn't seem to hurt anything (always works, never messes anything up).

Makes that exact sound.....tick-tick-tick-tick....tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock

it might be one of the servo motors.. before you shut off the car make sure all of the a/c controls are set to off. then try to start the car. if the noise stops i think that one of the 4 servo motors is getting stuck..
