Buzz Sound when car is off

Asked by GuruQHQFS Nov 18, 2019 at 10:39 PM about the 2006 Subaru Outback 2.5 XT Wagon AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

MEMBER2006 SUBARU OUTBACK2.5L4WDAUTOMATIC120,000 MILES
Hello,

Earlier today I cleaned out my car and accidentally hit the parking lights
button. Now my battery is dead. However, when I click to parking light off a
buzzing (or very fast clicking) starts in the dash to the right of the steering
wheel. The sound has been going for more than an hour.

It stops if I turn the parking lights back on, put the key in and turn or hit the
honk button. Do you know what it is and is it ok to leave it like that overnight?

For context, the steering wheel is turned very far right, even though the
wheels are not (not sure how it ended up that way) and the car currently has
an oil leak problem.

Thank you!
Eli

Will do that but can't tonight (I don't know how and the person helping me will come tomorrow). Is it ok to leave it overnight?

The buzzing is probably a relay going nuts due to low voltage. It may burn out if you let it keep doing that.
