Re: [DML] Relay clicking with my AC on.

It's also important to remember that the battery is in the compartment 
just below all that electrical stuff, and it is NOT sealed in between 
the compartments. In normal operation there is a fair amount of acid 
fumes that make their way into the compartment. This is very corrosive 
to not only the fuse blades, but all the other contacts in that area.

This makes a good reason for an Optima battery, or a BMW-style wet 
battery that is vented outside the car with a small hose directly from 
the battery. Although I'm not sure there's a style of that one that 
fits.
