Just wondering..........

I can remember all the talk and hoopla about the "buzz flash" and how people found it really annoying. I can remember always noticing it each time I got out of the truck, but now after almost a year I don't even notice it.
Has anyone else just "toned it out" and don't even give it a thought when shutting off your truck??

Like you said, I can only hear it if someone says something.

The only problem I see with it is that I believe the buzz is what led to my short battery life.

For what it's worth I never had the Buzz flash and my batteries did not even last 2 yrs.

It never bothered me from the start and i have had it a long time. Gives me another opportunity to talk about the truck b/c someone always asks what the noise is after shutdown

I have it and does not bother me at all but sometimes when I am just moving the truck to get to another car and go to shut it off I will recycle the key and it will cancel the buzz.

the 04 doesnt even get the buzz flash & I got only 3 years out of my batteries, the dealer just replaced my dads 05 battery last week I told him they should do both at once but said ford would only replace one.
