I have noticed in the Xant that I occasionally hear a buzzing relay down in the passenger footwell area? Random buzzes etc from time to time, especially after a recent start. Any suggestions as to what it might be?
Cheers

Hi Alan, maybe is the relay for direction lights. When the lever contacts are worn the relay go crazy.

Are you sure it's a buzzing relay? How about a dry leaf in the heater blower catching on the vanes - certainly this can give a buzzing sound

I get a buzz specially when a coin has run to the end of the dash and is vibrating against the side window.......
