Hey everyone, I’m a new dodge owner. Truck is a 2020 Ram 2500 diesel. Had 36,000 on it. Just bought it 3 weeks ago. Iv been noticing a weird click noise. Almost like a relay or solenoid switching on and off. It happens when I come to a complete stop, about 3-5 seconds after I hear the noise. It sounds like it’s coming from either the motor or by the transmission. I’m hoping it’s nothing. Been hearing it since I bought it. Any advice or information would be awesome !
 
Yeah I just called my brother in law and his does exact same thing. Thank you guys for info! I figured it was the return lines for fuel or something

Are you sure? Cause this happens when I am driving. Not after I shut off the truck. It’s whenever I come to a stop while driving and about 2-5 seconds later I hear it. It’s a “click… click” or even almost a “clunk…clunk” like a switch is being turned on and off

Most likely still the DEF system. From what I've heard, the injectors can be noisy.

Is it possible you're hearing the A/C compressor clutch?

Thats a mix of EGR, DEF systems nothing to worry about

I don’t believe so. It does it without the AC on. I thought my brother in laws truck did it but I was in it today and I didn’t hear it at all, could it be cause my def fluid is at half level? I wish I could explain it better but it comes from the passenger side. I almost thought it could be the brakes but it wouldn’t make sense due to it happening 2-5 seconds after coming to stop.

No that would not matter but you could be doing a regen at that point

Nah it’s not in regen mode I checked that. But hey if you guys think it’s just def/egr and you guys have the same noise then maybe I’ll just forget about it.

I also thought it could of been the brakes cause of how oddly the noise is. Almost like a relief of pressure or something type of click/clunk
 
And it only does it twice as well. Come to stop. Few seconds later. I hear “click click” and that’s it

I get that too sometimes it is the same sound with the truck off so its normal in my mind

Yeah I hope that’s what it is. So weird how it’s every time I stop though. Lol

I don’t believe what you are hearing is the def injector- that is more of a “tick-tick” not “click or clunk”. When you start your truck, and you step on the brake before you put the truck into gear, listen for the “click-click” that the BTSI solenoid makes that unlocks the shift lever. Is that the same sound you are hearing.

Dealership called me just now saying it’s my steps I put on…. LMAO okay…. It did the noise before I added the steps. I told them it sounds like a solenoid or relay and to go check it again. Tech calls me “yeah I heard a relay earlier but didn’t think anything about it, let me dive into this more” ‍♂️
