Relay Clicking?

[Kansei240sx]

Hey guys, i dont ask many questions, but i have one thats bugging me and i cant figure out why its doing it.

Ok, now i wired up my SAFCII about half a year ago and since then its been down, and i had the same problem then....

Basically, when i turn the car to the ON position everything works fine, except my SAFCII. The two relays by my ECU go. Click......Click....Click in about one second intervals, and when the battery is drained it buzzes. I've tried several different batteries and i think as of yet its gone away when i turn it to ON. MY safc ALSO restarts, or... turns on i guess every time that relay clicks. So its like... it gets grounded or ungrounded, or it gets power on and off every click of the relay.....

When i start it up its fine though and everything seems normal... Its just... when i turn the car off and pull out the key, those relays keep clicking and its annoying because i have to pop the kill switch out just to get it to stop.

Does anyone have an idea of what i did? I know SOMETHING is wrong, i just cant trace it.

most likely a short... trace the wiring for the relay and look for shorts or damaged wiring

most likely a ground thats not connected, the grounds near the intake manifold fully seated?

Ok.... so when the SAFC is disconnected since i wired up a connector for it. The relays dont click when the battery cable is connected. The car will still start fine.... but wont rev past 3.

I turn the car off and pop the connector in and then turn it to acc and off again, and the relays start clicking again. I know this is an easy answer, but i want to make sure, what does it sound like i need to do? Ground it elsewhere? I have it hooked up to the earthwire on the ECU.
