GLC250 (2017) - Ticking noise after vehicle shut off
Dear GLC owners, I have experienced an issue with my GLC250 (2017). Every time after I have turn off my car, there is a ticking noise coming under the car (around driver side (not too sure)).
After the ticking noise, all the lights (Meter, Steering etc) will turn on with a short period of time and go off again then repeat. This issue will last for an hour (random) until it finally stop. After the noise, I could hear there is some electrical noise going on under the car.
Would like to know whether you guys have encountered the issue before and know what happened.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your replied. I did suspect the battery as well because recently I try to clean my interior for a certain period of time (10-15mins) then the check battery msg appeared. But after I drive the car then the message go away. Not sure is the battery health is no longer stable. This ticking noise will directly trigger when I use any electrical power in the car (for example when I open the car door, the interior light up then this noise will appear from time to time) (Only when the vehicle is shut off).
As the battery is costly, I am trying to check whether anyone has this issue because I worry that the issues will continue even I changed the battery.
My friend did helped me using his scanning tool to check on the car but no error code was located (but the tool is not high end).
If let say I still unable to find any clue, then the first thing I do is changing the battery.
Thanks again.

it was in another thread, someone asked if car does any sounds when it's parked, and yes, car does all kinds of clicks and sounds when it's parked, so good battery is essential.
