I was driving back to work from lunch today and my VDC OFF/SLIP/ABS lights turn on so i think, new pads/brake fluid well then i start hearing a faint buzzing and the brake pedal seems to be vibrating with it. Got to work turned the car off and the buzzing noise is still going, coming from the corner opposite the battery.

I check on it an hour later and its still going, come out five hours later and still there, but my battery was dead and the car wouldnt start, got a jump and headed home, a few hundred ft later all the lights go off on the console and the buzzing has stopped? WTF?

'06 Sedan, 76K Miles, front pads prob need replacing, 10k new rotors/rear pads

 

Any ideas?

 

Did you figure anything out..

 

This problem is the ABS relay getting stuck in the closed position. Right next to the brake booster mounted on the fender is a black box with 3 harnesses going into it. That is the ABS motor relay, try rapping on it pretty hard with the butt end of a screwdriver and it will usually unstick the relay inside that box.

Plan on buying a new one soon, you can cook the ABS motor by letting it run too long. That relay is used on pretty much every Nissan/Infiniti vehicle from 2000-2012 so it's really easy to find ones at a local pick-n-pull or on eBay.
