Cold Remote-Start Noise

Hey, any idea what could be causing the sound in the linked video? It only happens in sub 20 degrees fahrenheit when I remote start the truck after it’s sat all night. It sits there and buzzes from behind the dash until I put the key in the ignition and switch it to on. Then it stops completely. No performance issues, I’m just curious what it is, if it’s a problem or just the truck complaining about the cold, which I don’t blame it for. Haha 2015 F150 XLT 3.5 EcoBoost.

Yeah, it happened for that week and hasn’t happened since. So I may have just overreacted to the truck complaining about the cold. But if I find anything, I’ll let you know.

Problem Solved

Turns out it was just my defroster fan complaining about the cold. Haha We’ll see if it lasts or goes out some day.
