It may be an inertia switch from a burglar alarm.

One way to narrrow down the source of the noise would be to pull fuses 
one at a time and see which one causes the noise to stop. Now you at 
least have an idea were to look. Be very suspicous of any wiring that 
is not origional to the car. Many time I have seen things that were 
added improperly causing all kinds of weird problems. The only way to 
start was to tear it all out by the roots and if I had any 
documentation try to reinstall correctly. Burglar alarms in particular 
can give you fits especially if they are tied into the ignition or 
starting systems. They can interconnect many systems like lights, 
horn, ignition, starting etc. When they malfunction you wouldn't 
believe the trouble they can cause!

Along with all the other rattles and squeaks that comes along with a 
20 year old car that's driven every day around rural NC (where the 
potholes can swallow a Winnebego) I have suddenly noticed this steady 
click coming from the instrument cluster. It happens about every 5-10 
seconds and sounds just like the click that the turn signal gives. 
Anyone think this is important, or is my paranoia getting to me again?
