I had this issue also. To fix first disconnect the bat. Unscrew the 4 hex nuts under the steering column. Lower the steering wheel so its level and pull apart the plastic cover. Try not to break it! Next unplug the 3 connectors to the turn signal / wiper switch. There is one screw in the center an a small pin that rubs against the steering wheel. Take note to push this spring loaded pin back to the same position when you reassemble or you will have issues.

Remove the entire module, flip it over and you'll see a set of tracks. There is grease shorting between the tracks. I found a toothpick works well to clean these spaces. Put everything back together any your problem is fixed.

In my case I bent that pin because I didn't push it into the switch so now my horn doesn't want to work. I tried to fix but I think I need to replace the switch. If someone figures that out please let me know what to do.

But the random tick tick is gone!
