Last night after a meeting I went to my car. I walked around and heard a buzzing noise coming from what I expect to be the ABS actuator or something.

Well as soon as I started my car the ABS light came on. It drove fine, but when I got out the car the buzzing noise was still there. There was also a constant vibration from this black box.

I think it drained the battery. The buzzing noise was still there this morning but the battery was dead. If I disconnect the red wire to battery the noise and vibration stop. Is there something I can do to resolve this issue soon.

It's your ABS relay - not uncommon. Find it and give it a good whack. That should take care of it until you can replace it.

Thanks again for the help. I took the whole ABS Relay apart, cleaned it with electrical cleaner waited then put it back. Got my car jumped start and it peers fine as it did before. Does this mean the relay is on its way out?

Thanks again.
