So this is about the 3rd time my car has done this. After I turn my car off, I hear a buzzing noise by the right fender where the bottom of the windshield ends, and there's nothing I do to turn it off or whatever. I don't know what it is, but it drains my battery and it only does it every so often. (but often enough to be a problem) Last night my ABS light popped on right before I shut the engine off and the sound arose.

Does this have anything to do with my ABS? Or are these just two different problems?

Sounds like the ABS relay sticking. fix at once, as most batteries used in Q are starting only batteries not designed to deep discharge, and each discharge severly shortens its life.

I had the same problem with the ABS relay. Until you purchase a new relay, you can tap the top of the relay, gently until it stops buzzing. Usually the buzzing noise is joined with the ABS light on. It will draw current in a matter of hours, so when you get out the car, and you hear buzzing pop the hood and tap the black box. I normally just used the sword (a.k.a the Infiniti key).
