Default Clicking from The Pass Footwell and Shift Lever When Stepping on The Brakes, Normal?

I don't recall hearing this before 2013 base Vert. The click from the shift console is while in park.

I believe it's the brake light relay in the passenger footwheel.

Yep - it's the brake relay. Normal - as GM source the lowest quality garbage components.

I never noticed it in my 2010. That changed with my 2012. I did post a question asking: Does anyone not hear a click from the passenger side footwell fuse box when stepping on the brake? As I did not get any responses, I'll ask that again.

If it bugs you, you can wrap it in some Dynamat
Insulation.

the click in the floor is the brake light relay, the one in the console is the shift lock for automatics (all auto cars have one) some are just louder than others.
