2004 F-150 Buzzing Sound? - Ford Forums - Mustang Forum, Ford Trucks, Ford Focus and Ford Cars

I have the 5.4 liter engine supercab, four-wheel drive and abs all
around.

Strange electrical buzzing sound coming from the front end while
waiting at traffic lights with the trans in drive. It goes off and on
by itself, no relation to the position of the brake pedal it seems.

Any thoughts?
Thanks

Do you listen to talk radio on AM?

ABS pump.

Nope. Wondering if it has something to do with the power steering
pump. Today it seemed I could poke at the source by moving the
steering wheel back and forth at a stop. Still wondering.

Is there a TSB on that?

Maybe just the cooling fan going on and off?

BTW, I always wonder why these newer vehicle problems show up on here.
Isn't there warranty left on this?

Sure but here you can get an objective opinion from others with the
same vehicle or experience. My experience with dealerships is that
they really don't care for diagnosing these types of issues, takes too
long to understand the customer's description and to repeat the
symptom, and all for what could be a non-issue. If it's not in a
recall or a TSB, fuggetaboudit! Can't say I really blame them. I just
want to get along with them for the important stuff, and not acting
like every little buzz and rattle portends the end of the world.
