Electrical buzzing sound!!!!

[Stormy_VR 10]

Hi all. Hope I’ve posted this in the right place, apologies if not (noob!!) Driving the rado today and noticed a loud ‘buzzing’ type noise coming from the lhr side, seemingly behind the interior side panel!! Was happening intermittently, whether I was driving along or at a standstill!! Haven’t stripped down as of yet so just thought I’d ask the question whether anyone has had this noise before and what it possibly is/ any ideas of any modules etc located in that area??

Central locking or electric window control module would be two suspects...

Did you have heated seat on?

Sounds like the heater seat relay. Most likely a faulty element in the seat.

Yes I did, both of them. Drove car to work today but no noises appeared!

Oh ok, should I concentrate on looking over seat elements then rather than behind lhr panel or both just to be sure?

It's normally the elements have broken in the seat... the relays for the seats are quite rare go find if you have a problem with them.

Awesome, thanks for the advice, looks like the seat will be coming out soon then!
