Strange BUZZING noise from dash!!

<TABLE width="100%" border=0 itxtvisited="1"><TBODY itxtvisited="1"><TR itxtvisited="1"><TD vAlign=top itxtvisited="1">2001 F-350 w/PS, 90K, auto . . .
This morning, for the first time, I started hearing a buzzing noise (kind of like a gieger counter) from the steering column area under the dash.
Not awfully loud, it is virtually drowned out by engine and radio noises.
AND . . . I noticed it became intermittant as I went through the gears to put it in drive. And if I held the shifter in between gears, the noise stopped.
But then, when I turned on the turn signal, the noise went away completely. Left, right, didn't matter. And it went away when I turned on the hazzards.

What the???!!

When it's clicking, go around at night and see if any of the lights are burning dimly around the truck.

It's related to wiring harnesses inder the dash and around the steering column. Because I can wiggle wiresconnectors under there and it will stop. The sound is eminateing from the passenger side undethe dash but seems accessable once the large access paanel is removed.
I did blow a couple fuses while wiggling wiresconnectors. It is now intermittant, so I'm getting close!
Too wierd!
