    Weird electrical buzzing/humming noise coming from the driver side behind the dash wondering if anyone has experienced this or what. Sometimes it kind of alternates pitch reminds me of the sound a high voltage power line makes. When it's quiet in the car it's stupid annoying, any takes?

    Nope, why what causes HID to buzz in the dash? Could be a similar problem...

    I've got the same problem. Just started the other day. Did you find out what the issue was?

    I'll check in the morning! Hopefully it's an easy fix.

    Thanks!

    I checked the fuses and They seem to be ok. I couldn't find a specific fuse for the DRLs. I have a 2007' maybe thats why?

    Anyway, this noise is progressively getting worse. It would only happen for about 10 minutes after I started the car and then would go away. Now it stays the entire time the car is on. Any other thoughts? Is there another area for a DRL fuse? The DRLs are working, so maybe it's not that.

    Very frustrating!!

    My moms did this. When looking at the steering wheel. Just to the right there is what looks like a little say 2" x 2" cicle vent. Pop the dash panel off theres a small piece that looks like a cigerette lighter that goes there behind the circle vent I bet its that. I think it reads the interior temps not sure tho. It isnt held in great and popped out twice.

    I have the same buzzing in my '08 base with heated seat and dual climate. I'll check into it deeper when it gets out of the shop. I took a hit to the front right yesterday when an idiot decided to cross my lane BEFORE checking for oncoming traffic.
    2008 purchased on Dec. 3, 2011. Sunroof, leather, heated seats, remote start, auto dual climate, K-State Wildcat decal and disco ball hanging from the mirror.

    Soon-to-be mods: tint, iPod interface,

    I think it's the internal temperature sensor. My car still does it.
    You can see a little opening or vent to the right of the steering column.

    Seems to be the temp sensor by the ignition people have mentioned. Hasn't caused any problems and with the AC blasting along with the radio I can't hear it anymore...damn that was a hot couple of weeks!
