I noticed today that all of my dummy lights dim in and out on the same pattern when the key is in the II position(Battery Light, E-brake light....) And there is a tick. It goes soft tick-louder tick-soft tick..and so on. The tick seems to be coming from in between the two rear speakers, I can feel a slight vibration. About two weeks ago I wired up a CB Radio, and ran the power from the rear windshield/heated screen fuse. And everything worked fine, I noticed today too that my CB lights were dimming in and out on the same pattern. So I took out that fuse and now there is NO dimming and No tick. But when I plug it in, even with the CB not hooked up it starts to do tick and dim out. I even tried a new fuse and it did the same thing. Any ideas on what's wrong? Please Help!!!!

Sounds to me like there is just not enough power in that circuit. But I am terrible with electirical wiring. There are those more qualified that I will defer to. Thanks.

your prob is needing to clean contacts
in the sockets to get a good ground.
galv sockets will self coat & will need to break the surface non conductave galv finish
for things to work proper!
