If your transfer case does not have a shift solenoid, then the Throttle Valve cable could be installed incorrectly making a clicking sound. This will only occur when the engine is running and the vehicle is in motion. Most likely, there is an issue with the transmission making the noise if the vehicle is not moving with the engine running. If you need further assistance with a clicking noise by the transfer case, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.
