Default Buzzing noise from under the dash

I have a buzzing noise that just started. Its coming from the drivers side just above where your left ankle would be. It comes on whenever the inside door lights are energized and goes off about 30 seconds after the inside lights extinguish. Im guessing a light relay/solonoid. Cant be hard to find but Im wondering if anyone has knowledge of this before I dig in.

Thanks.

I'm dealing with the EXACT same thing..check your battery connections and have your battery completely charged up and tested. Then post back..ACTUALLY check your codes first then do the above.

I put a new battery in about 3 months ago. The noise has went away BUT I have no doubt it will return. Ill check the codes and get back to you.

Regardless of your putting in a battery 3 months ago, check the connections at the battery and check at the starter solenoid since this is where all the electrical comes together.
