95 explorer XLT Manual transmission 4wd/4wdlow lights blink 6 times every 2 minutes. When the ignition is turned on or the truck started I can hear a ticking coming from in the dash behind the radio about every 1/2 sec. It sounds like a relay turning on & off. It happens about 5 to 7 times then stops. I tracked it down to a small gray box mounted just below the GEM, is this the TCS relay? Lights start blinking after ignition is turned on, before the truck is started or moved, after disconnecting the battery.

Here are pictures
