Clicking noise from dash while applying brakes in drive

[Bknelson83]

Noticed today a clicking noise while I apply the brakes. I know this can happen in park but what would be the reason for this to happen in drive? It sounds like a relay clicking. Happens after I got 20 mph then is consistent even below that speed.

When the windows are fully up, I can hear a “click” noise every time I apply the brake. It’s not loud but if you focus you will hear it.

I, too, have same issue. Just started with approx 700 miles on odometer. Do not have at low speeds or when brake vacuum is “full”. Anyone else have this?

I have the same issue and it seems to be intermittent when it happens.

I am having the same issue. Ticking noise every time I brake-always around 20-30 mph. Has anyone had any luck diagnosing the issue?

every time i press the pedal i get a click & it is super annoying

i thought i had the dealership convinced that im not hearing things so they agreed to replace the master cylinder, it did not fix the issue.

The clicking is the brake assist relay.

Hi there, Tim! I'd like to take a closer look at your truck's break issues and assist you in getting that clicking sound addressed. To get started, please send us a private message with the name and location of your dealership. Thank you!

I also notice the clicking Sound mostly when brakes are applied firmly. It definitely sounds like a relay/switch. This has happened since new.

I also noticed this but not from me using the pedal, I get it when using the adaptive cruise and the computer is applying braking to maintain speed on low to moderate downgrades (or if a slow car is in front of me).

It definitely sounds like a relay/solenoid engaging, but at least in my case it is not pedal related at all.

I'm getting the same. Sounds like it's up under the motor somewhere. Mine does it every time I hit the brakes and it also sounds like there is two stages to it. When I hit the brakes and when I hit them even harder. It's actually pretty loud on mine.

Ya same pretty normal

Mine just started doing this about a week ago right after I hit 1,000 miles. It is very annoying to me, should I take it in? Something to be worried about?

Hi there. This clicking concern doesn’t sound like something we want you to experience with your F-150. Could you please send us a PM with your VIN and the name and location of your Ford dealer? I'd be happy to look into how I can assist you on my end.
