Ticking noise coming from rear right.

Everytime i startup my car and im sitting waiting for it to warm up i always hear a ticking noise coming from the back right of my car. I walk outside and it sounds like its coming from the strut area. Its not a clunking noise, its just a small tick. It sounds like my turn signal is on.. that kinda noise... What could it be? Whats behind the body in the rear passenger side of the car?

It's to do with the fuel pump or something.

It's normal.

If you do a search you'll find a number of threads already about it too.

It's the fuel pump pressurizing the fuel system. This is why you cannot leave your fuel cap off. It will throw an engine code. Most all modern fuel-injected cars do the same thing.
