I have a 1994 Ford Thunderbird and as soon as i turn the key to the on position, it ticks and sounds almost like when i have the signal light on, it sounds like it is coming from inside the car as opposed to the engine and somewhere near the fuse box perhaps, i have asked a few people and no one seems to know whats up, any ideas?
 
Follow the sound to the source. Might be some type of flasher relay connected to the fuse box that has gone bad.
 
Try pulling the turn signal fuse out and see if it still ticks. Maybe Peter Pan's crocodile with the ticking clock is on your trail.
 
do all the signal lights work, 4 way flashers? they have a big fuse like thing that ticks when the are not working correctly
 
Maybe one of the relays is getting a bad signal/current or it is stuck. Check the relay box not the fuse box. It sounds like one of the relays
 
Sounds like a relay. Turn your key to the on position. Put your head under the dash and follow the sound to where it's loudest. If there is a small metal or plastic box anywhere in that area put you hand on it and see if you can feel the relay making and breaking at the same time you hear it click. Most likely it will be close to or in the fuse panel which may have plastic cover. If you locate it, replace it! Hopefully that will take care of it.
