Buzz

I've got a interesting intermittent buzz. Whenever the car is off there is a buzz from behind the center console/glove box. I removed the radio and moved the ac controls yesterday and couldn't find it.

Whenever I pulled the horn relay it stopped, so I replaced it. It still buzzes...the buzzing will stop if the window buttons are pushed or if the horn is pushed. any idea what kind of ghost in the machine I might have?

No idea what would "buzz" behind that area other than a loose connection (maybe with the horn circuit if it stopped?) or someone else installing something weird (or again, installing something wrong).

Ok so I played around with the car and found out that if the radio is on (factory head unit) when the car is turned off--it doesn't just buzz it sends power to the radio and it plays in spurts.

Question is: What runs through the power windows horn and stereo that could be shorted out.

The factory head unit was disconnected when I got the car so I think I understand why now.

Sounds like the Retained Accessory Power circuits. You are probably gonna need a schematic.

Nice job on tracking it down, its always the damn electronics that give you the most crap. Still sucks though, 78.11 just to make the car stop annoying you....
