Buzzing from engine bay after steering wheel change !

[Dave H]

I've just followed the CS guide on fitting a refurb wheel from Snappy, with no problems fitting it.

But when I reconnected the battery and turned the inhibition on, without turning the engine over, I can hear a buzzing noise from the engine, around the throttle housing area. When i turn the iginition off I can hear a loud clicking like a relay switching.

Any ideas ?

The only thing I did in the engine bay was to disconnect and reconnect the battery. If I turn the ignition on without the engine running, and remove any one of the standard size fuses from the fuse box, the buzzing stops. Also, after running the engine without driving for a minute or so, there was a lot of static when I touched the drivers door. Odd ! The car drives fine, as I've just been out in it.

Should the throttle housing 'buzz' when the engine is not running? I've never heard it before !

After reading a few posts on here it seems that this 'buzzing' is normal...except I have never noticed it before, and I'm certain it has just started doing it after I disconnected the battery.

Should I just let it develop ?

Sounds normal to me as the throttle body makes a slight buzz noise and I get the clicking as well when turning the ignition off

I am 100% sure that it never made this noise before....strange strange !
