Clicking up by passenger footwell? A bad SJB can do some seriously funky stuff. Have you inspected it for any issues yet? They like to get wet and go absolutely haywire. My father in law is on #3.

Smart Junction Box. The big fuse box behind the passenger kick panel.

I had that same issue. I kept replacing the relay since it was cheap, but it started failing every couple of weeks. I finally bit the bullet and replaced the fuse box. Took the old one apart and the circuit board had burned on the other side where the relay plugs in. It is a known problem with this generation expedition.

How much was the fuse box?

I want to say it was around $380.00. Bought it online from a Ford dealer in Nevada. Much cheaper than the local dealer.

You can get a brand new fuse box for about $350 shipped.

Can get them refurbished/used off ebay (for xample) or repaired too.

$350.00 is a good price. I went back and looked, I paid $366.00
