Recently fitted a Gizzmo Boost controller, It works great, but when I turn the ignition on the boost solinoid makes a very loud BUZZZ noise.

Any idea why this is I have read somewhere the ABS unit can do it, but when I unplug the valve it stops...

Thanks all!

do you have the valve wired reverse by any chance? as im pritty sure the gizmo unit has a inline diode inside the cable near the connector

Fook sake it has now!!!

My Gizzmo is buzzing like a damn vibrator (not that I know what a vibrator buzzes like lol) when I turn ignition on. This has only started today since I had an 'incident' where my earthing cables melted after something shorted with possibly the alternator LIVE - and all this in the middle of an unplugged fuel filter with fuel everywhere??!! :wack:

Damn it's been a bad weekend grrrrr :(

Grr I hate wiring when it goes wrong, like a pin in a hay stack!

Maybe when I drop the engine back in it will magically go away lol!

So in otherwords its 90% likely to be a dodgy earth..

Well dodgy earth has gone away for now and I re-insulated everything so really not sure why the buzzing has started...

Although I went back to car just now and turned over ignition - NOTHING :wack:

intermittent problems are so annoying. At least if it is happening all the time you can track it down.
