Weird buzz sound from under car....
Posted: June 18th, 2003, 9:02 pm
I bought my ITR about 3 months ago, and ever since the day i brought her home and parked her in the garage i've noticed a weird buzz sound.
i only hear it when parked and the car if OFF. it sounds almost like the ABS cycle you hear in most cars when it's started (like a little motor is warming up), but more high pitched. it lasts about 5 seconds, and returns every minute or so.
sometimes i hear it after slamming the car door shut. it's not always reproducable.
it sounds like it's coming from under the rear part of the car...almost in the area of the fuel pump (under rear seats). when in the garage, you can't miss it b/c of the echo on the walls, but otherwise it is rather faint. (it actually freaked my wife out once when she went to the garage at late night to get the laundry.)
originally i thought it was the metal cooling, but with listening to it over and over again, it's definetely not that.
is this normal??? what could it be?? i'm thinking it may actually be coming from the fuel pump, but i don't understand why a fuel pump would be doing that in the first place.
any help is appreciated.
thanks!!!
