    Hi all,

    My truck recently started making a humming noise when I shut it off. This started about two months ago, and seems to have got a bit louder ever since. The noise will stop when I switch the headlights off, or open my door to get out. Seems electrical in nature, but beyond that I have no idea. I've uploaded a video at the drive link below. There's two videos there that are the exact same, one is .mov and one is .mp4.

    Thanks for any insight
