Default buzzing with lights on
I have a buzzing sound when I turn my lights on. It's only when I turn the driving lights on. I have no idea what it is. Any ideas?

Are your lights and wiring all stock?

Sounds like maybe a grounding issue.

Yes. Everything is stock. It just started last night. I've had the jeep a month no problems.

Turn the lights on, let it buzz, and try to pinpoint the general area the sound is coming from.

Is it in the dash, under the hood, near one on the lights?

You can always go the Warranty route, too.

It's from the dash. Left side of the steering wheel.

I sometimes get a buzz from the speakers when the lights are on if the radio is set to aux input and there is nothing hooked to it.

I'll check that. But I'm almost positive that the radio was off

Have you been caught with top down and got wet recently?

I was also thinking it could be a relay but they should all be located under the hood.....
