2002 Chevy Impala with a clicking sound from the passangers side fuse area?

2002 Chevy Impala. A very distinct clicking sound coming from the relay fuse area on the passangers side. We've replaced one of the relay fuses, the one we thought the sound was coming from, no help! We replaced the car battery, no help! We've had people tell us it's probably a wiring problem. Maybe there's a wire that isn't grounding right and when it's hot in the car this makes the problem worse. The clicking sound only happens after the car has sat outside all day while I'm at work and it's HOT outside. Also when the clicking is going on the radio says locked the A/C will only blow hot air, the warning light flashes different things like door ajar, high beam out, service vehicle soon. Things are out of wack when the clicking is going on!?

This clicking , when the temp is hot , is a relay clicking out , and resetting itself when the car cools down , when it is hot inside the car is when this happens, the relay , is made to reset itself after getting hot, and this one has a defect, its resetting at to low of temp , you may have to replace the relay or to find it , have some one while its clicking , take a open or closed reading , and find it, then replace it, it could be the main relay

We already tried replacing one of the relay fuses. There are 3 on the passengers side. We replaced the one that we could "feel " the clicking on and it didn't help at all. Where is the MAIN relay? And thank you kbky11 for responding to my question.
