I have a 2011 ZR1. I really like the car, but the brake light relay in the passenger foot well fuse panel clicks pretty loud when I hit the brake. Is this normal? I did not have this issue with my previous Vettes. Thanks for any input.

because many others have the same issue,you could say it's normal. But it shouldent be.

I understand the replacement part number is 12193606. This relay is supposed to be quiet.

Thanks for the responses, they were helpful

Thanks for the relay part number 12193606. It happens that a relay with this part number was in the fuse box under the hood. I swapped the relays. The brake light relay with this part no. is only slightly less noisy. I wrapped the relay with some sound deadening material and foam and reduced the clicking sound a little more. I will continue to work on the issue. I guess I'm a little picky about unnecessary noises like loud clicking relays. Maybe there's a solid state relay out there that can be adapted to work for the brake light.
