    You have to post the video to a video sharing site like youtube and post the link here, TW doesn't support video uploads.

    Can you identify which relay is clicking?

    Unplug the relays 1 at a time until the clicking stops.

    You sure it's not just the plastic of the fuse box that's loose? Doesn't sound like a relay.

    You could unhook the battery and see if it still does it, that would tell you if it's something electrical or not.

    What year is the truck? There are more relays and such on the 2012-2015 and a supplemental fuse box.

    Edit: your profile photo shows a 2.0 gen (2005-2011). What model is it?

    Just saw you updated the first post with the video. Sounds like plastic to me snapping back into the inner fender liner. I would disconnect the battery and then un old the fuse box and look for witness marks on the bottom to see if it’s been running or a piece is broken or cracked.

    Probably the fuel vapor vacuum switch. It's common.
