Buzzing sound after shutdown
'88 F150 4.9
The buzzing in the video continues for a couple of minutes after the truck is shut off. Coming from the EGR area. Unplug/replug the EGR vacuum line and it changes pitch (even thoughh the truck is off and the key is out). Eventually it winds down like an electric motor would sound but it is not the fuel pump or the blower motor.
I have recently been troubleshooting the usual 4.9 EGR bucking at road speed and a surging/stalling idle issue on cold mornings.

That's kind of exclusive to 4.9 engines of a very few years around that time. Some kind of fan is supposed to cool something after the engine is shut off. Something with the fuel system I believe. Anyway it is supposed to do that.
I think the one on my '88 played out, i don't remember hearing it anymore.

Sorry guys, should have mentioned that fan has been disconnected for years from the looks of it. No, this seems to be coming from the electrical/vacuum do dads bolted to the head right under the EGR valve. Ive been grabbing sensors from the local pull a part (for almost free) to diagnose my idle problem. I'll get a set of these next time.

On further inspection it is definitely the egr vacuum regulator solenoid. I can feel the vibration in my hand. I am a bit concerned as to why it would be trying to operate with the key off. I've pulled the computer and replaced the capacitors but that had no effect on anything.
