Default Anyone have this gremlin??

Got in this morning, put the key in, dash lights came on and she wouldn't turn over and there was a faint "buzzing" sound coming from what I thought was the console area.

Pulled the key out, waited a few seconds, put the key back in and she started right up and everything worked fine. Except all of my presets on the DIC were "zero'd out" (average mpg, HUD settings, etc..) Seat memory was still OK though.

Any thoughts?

Any crud on your battery posts? Not saying this is the problem but it wouldn't hurt to look.

No, they're nice and clean. The buzzing sound wasn't the starter relay sound, but a humming type of "buzz". I thought maybe the computer glitched on me or something.

Your battery may be low. I was getting a buzzing noise from my fuse box when my battery was low.

Haven't had that happen to me. Hope you find out what the root cause is... and when you do, be sure to share it on the CF.

I've heard the buzz, and my battery was low.
