Hicas Noise

[MeLSki]

Hey Guys,

I just noticed today that there is a strange electrical sound, like a high pitched constant buzzing coming from behind my left rear wheel. My hicas light isn't on and I can't make out what the hell the sound is.

I noticed the other day that when I accelerate from idle the car pulls a bit and now this noise, I was wondering if anyone knows what the noise is? if it's related to the lag in the acceleration? or any other info?

Cheers

Could be a bad earth somewhere or something earthing where it shouldn't, aerial motor buzzing perhaps?

Sound like some kind of electrical wiring/earth problem, my car does the some thing similar, when I turn the key to on on & disarm the immobilizer, I can hear a constant buzz sound coming from the back somewhere. Since I got my sub & amp installed by a "dodge" place.

But after I turn the car on, exhaust sound covers the buzzing sound up.

my car makes that noise when abs is activivated. Could be bad earth or just electrical wiring. Take it to a auto electrician to get it checked out

Hi Mel,

if it sounds like it's coming from near the battery, then it's the rust protector thingy, makes a humming noise, took me ages to find that 1 out

Hey Guys,

Just bringing this back up because I'm abit concerned, obviously it's not the hicas making the noise. I'm just abit concerned now because I've noticed the noise is only when it's a really hot day.

This sounds heaps n00b, I know, but do you think it's nothing too worry about? I'm just concerned that I can't drive the sky on hot days....

And Steve, it might be from the battery but it's not a humming sound.... it's like more high pitched

Fuel pumps buzz louder on hot days.. and more so if youre running low on fuel (i think)

[MeLSki]

that would make sense, thanx Kel!
