I think the clicking might also indicate that one of the locks is jammed. You could try manually locking and unlocking the doors to see if anything changes.

That’s a clever tip! A jammed lock is often overlooked. Have others found this to be the case?
It could also be the central locking module acting up. If it’s sending erratic signals, it might cause those clicking sounds. Might be worth investigating.
Yup! When my module failed, it made similar noises before it completely stopped working. Check that if all else fails!
I remember reading that sometimes water can get into the lock mechanisms and cause problems. Has anyone checked for moisture?

Water can be a sneaky culprit! I had a similar issue with my older model i10, and a simple drying out fixed it.
Absolutely, moisture is often the enemy of electronic components. It’s something to keep in mind! Just ensure everything is dried out if that’s the case.

Who knew central locking could be such an adventure? If only my door handles looked as good as my locking system sounds!
Haha! The irony is real. But seriously, let’s not overlook the need for proper maintenance on these components.
Great discussion here! It seems like a mix of factors could be in play. Which solution seems to be the most common among users?
I’d suggest starting with the simplest problems first, like checking the actuators and wiring. It might save you a trip to a mechanic.

Also, be sure to check your battery connections. Sometimes, electrical issues could arise from weak power supply, leading to weird noises.
That makes a lot of sense, Brayannette! Proper power supply is key for smooth operation. Who would’ve thought central locking could be so complex?
I had the same problem with my i10! The clicking noise turned out to be a loose actuator. I just tightened it, and it’s been quiet since.
Interesting! How did you access it? I’m considering checking mine too.
I had a professional look at it; they said the actuator was faulty and needed replacing. It cost about $300, including labor. Worth it for peace of mind!
Did they mention how often this issue occurs? Seems pricey!
I think it varies by model and usage. Some garages suggest periodic checks after a few years to prevent this noise from appearing.
I love how discussion about car noises can get so serious! 
I’m pulling my hair out over all these sounds in my i10.
Right? It’s like a symphony of issues! But the clicking is driving me nuts.
