    Weird buzz from the turn signal

    Ok...best way for me to explain this is by calling it a buzzing noise. My right turn signal works but it flickers very fast. The rear lights are disconected but it flickers faster than it normally would to indicate a blown bulb. When I turn the driver side turn signal on it doesnt work at all and it makes a loud buzzing noise. Keep in mind I just installed HID's, that and my car is not starting right now (I beleive its a battery issue). Theres one more thing that might have something to do with it....I disconected all the wiring in my engine bay to paint. Everything is hooked back up properly. Someone please help! Ive never heard a noise like this.

    weird buzzing = not enough resistance to operate flasher relay.

        Are you low on blinker fluid?

              Disconnect the plug at the back of the turn signal housing. There should be a small reservoir in there, next to the base of the bulb.

                  Josh....come on bro. I dont think this was a stupid question. Ive talked to a few other people that have never heard a noise like this.

                        Dude, I'm laughing at the fact that you thought I was serious about blinker fluid. That's one of the oldest car jokes in the book.

                          I used to have blinker fluid in my side markers, but they were cracked. Try the relay man. Have you done anything with the lights recently? Replace anything?
