Not sure if this is a problem or not.

Alright, I've had my MINI a while, and have heard a lot of strange character noises of these vehicles that are harmless. I recently noticed, as i was reattaching my A/M Sub, that when i turn the key to "run" without starting the engine (This happens slightly after the fuel pump finishes pressurizing) I hear two clicks (sounding like electricity arcing). The second coming half a second after the first, it is also slightly quieter than the first. It sounds like they are coming from the passenger side engine compartment.

I only post about this because i was just recently was wiring LEDs(not extremely experienced with wiring), but i was not wiring anywhere near where i hear this from.

So, is this normal? or could i have a worn wire arcing to hunt for?
