Is that all you hear is a "click" on and "click" off? Is that all everybody hears? What is the buzzing/whirring sound I hear when my key is in the on position before I start? The sound continues even after the WTS light shuts off. I thought it was the fuel pump but nobody has clearified that for me. The funny thing is that I can definitely tell if my truck has enough power to start or not just ny listening to the tone of this buzzing. What the heck is it? Thanks for your help.
