Default Why the hell does this happen when i turn the heat on?

I got my car running finally with the turbo and standalone. I'm only pushing 12 psi for now. I also had the SAFCII on the car before and been functional, and i felt reluctant to take it out since it's not doing any harm. now after turning the heater on for 5 minutes or so, the SAFC displays knock voltage. The signal doesn't go down even if i turn the heater off, and there's no knock that i can hear. It even displays a high signal at idle I figured that it might be electrical, but why? and how did the heater get involved into this??? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

possibly detonation? might not be an actual knock of metal to metal.

It only does it when i turn the heater on, it even does it at idle when the heater is on! i listened to the car countless times and i couldn't hear anything.
