I picked up my Q yesterday and when i turn the car off and remove the key there is something that wont turn off. I hear a humming sound coming from inside the engine compartment in the front drivers side corner. It sounds like it is coming from the silver box with the metal hoses near the windshield. I dont know what they call this part. Can anyone help me?

Immediately REPLACE the ABS relays inside black cover attached to ABS.

Failure to do so will wear the ABS pump!

Are there 3 relays? I called the dealer and they said they cost about 35.00 each.

While you are at it change the blue starter relay to the left of ABS. with that you will have changed all the common relay failures.
