I have a 2013 slim. Just installed akropovich pipes, s&s air cleaner and a thundermax tuner. At the same I also added a tank lift. When I put the dash back on, I put the Speedo plug in backwards. When I turned the ignition switch on, there is a loud click. The engine starts just fine. At first I noticed the Speedo wasn't working, so I pulled the dash back off and realized I had the plug backwards. I flipped it around, hoping that was it, but the loud click is still there when I turn the ignition switch on.
Like I said, the engine starts fine and all of the electronics and lights work fine, as far as I can tell. Even the Speedo is fine after plugging it in correctly. Any idea what this loud click sound is?

Did you check for codes?
- Hold TRIP then turn on the ignition - the speedo goes into DIAG mode.
- Cycle TRIP to see if any of the modules (ECM, BCM, SPDO) report a code.
- If there's a "Y" next to any of the three that means there's a code.
- Cycle to the module(s) showing "Y", then press and hold TRIP to see the codes
- You can cycle TRIP here as well to see if there's more than one...
