Buzzing behind glove box

I drive a 2010 f250 5.4, last month I noticed a buzzing noise under the glove box, it comes on when I turn on my lights, and have the adjuster wheel at a certain spot, which is almost at full brightness and is about half an inch between bright and dim, I don't know what is causing that, I've seen maybe the battery because I need a new one, but I don't really know.

I am not certain but I have been told that Ford put some relays and resistor behind the glovebox for the headlights, maybe a relay is getting weak and noisy???

I had the same issue and eventually tracked it down to a bad ground wire on my battery.

The relays are there...but check the easy stuff first before you check the hard stuff... unlike me...
