Default Relay under dash (i think) always clicking ?

I've noticed recently that i've got what sounds like a relay that seems to be coming from under the dash that is clicking incessantly.. and randomly.

Any ideas what relay this might be ? I've got a hunch that it might be drivers seat heater, since i recently

1) had the seat heater wiring loom melt
2) rebuild the drivers side seat heater switch
3) swapped in a different drivers seat.

So, assuming its the drivers seat heater relay..

1) what makes it click like crazy ? Why is the circuit activating/deactivating that much ?
2) how do i locate it? (i.e., which relay is it)
3) im guessing its not a relay problem, and a problem in one of the components above..

Default Not sure it's a huge issue...

my son's 91 80q seat heater has been clicking for 2 years, not obvious impact.

Try unplugging the seat connection for the heater... see if it still does it
