  • Headlights?

    A few days ago when I was getting ready to leave work, I turn on my lights only to find my charge light come on, and the headlights making a "buzzing" sound under the hood.

    All other lights function properly, and the battery isn't dead at all.

    Does anybody know what might be going on?


    Any and all help appreciated!

    I am far from being an expert, or even very knowledgeable on electrical issues.
    But my guess is that your alternator may be about to give up the ghost, maybe it just isn't producing the voltage it needs anymore.

    But before jumping to that, try checking for frayed or damaged wires, and check all the grounds.

      I would follow the Buzzing to the headlamp relay and check the wires on it. And test the relay on the bench.
