Some customers may comment on a buzz or hum type noise coming from the rear of the vehicle after the vehicle has been turned off. The customer may comment that the noise is intermittent and may also be associated with a low or dead battery, causing a no start condition.
The contacts in the fuel pump relay may be staying engaged after the vehicle is shut off, causing the battery drain.
Check for the fuel pump relay staying engaged (sticking). If you find that the relay is sticking, replace the relay and retest the system.
