Auxiliary heat is usually the heat strips turn on. Aka meter spinners

What kind of System do you have? Is it an older Mercury Bulb tstat or newer digital?
A lot of older units have an ability to send an alert to the tstat via the defrost control board. It usually results in the red light flashing, but I suppose it could be green too.
Is the clicking that you hear-
1. An audible clicking of a relay? click click- - - click click- - -etc.
or
2. Is the outdoor system actually shutting on and off?
Does it do this every time the heat is on?

What brand is the system? Trane? Honestly don’t know since we just bought the vacation home. The sticker on the side is faded and I can barely make out a serial number.

Either way, a lot of systems can send an alert to the tstat, via the defrost control, that results in a flashing aux.light. You’d be able to hear the relay clicking in and out as well. It sounds like you may have that going on, but that’s just a guess with limited info. Several things could cause the control board to send the alert signal, if this is the case. You shouldn’t get any kind of clicking in and out/lights flashing during normal operations. May not be anything major, but I’d still call the Man. If you are able to find a Brand name/ model or serial number at any point, post it up.

I can hear clicking inside around the air handler also but it’s not as loud as the outside unit.

I finally made it back down to our condo and got the serial number. 4895E19786 if anybody could help me look that up. Model number and make would be more handy if you got that. Or at least a make with the serial #
