So the other day (I think Tuesday), I was driving on the freeway when someone decided to hit their brakes really hard and I had to as well. I didnt hit them, but ever since then my dash has been messed up!

Whenever I completely start the car and the engine is running, I will let off my e-brake and my Antilock, Brake, and battery light blink on and off abnormally, and there is a loud buzzing sound coming from under my dash.

I took the dash apart, took out the instrument cluster, but I seemed to have pinpointed it near the left kickplate that is buzzing. Its not a vibrating because I checked everything I could. And I cant hear it in the engine bay. I dont exactly know, but it seems to be coming from the box in the picture.

If anyone knows what it could be or what I could check, please let me know. I have checked all the instrument cluster connections and they were fine.

I also dont know if it makes a difference, but before this buzzing noise my battery was fine and only about 4 months old. About two or three days after this buzzing, my battery died on me, and I had to get a new one.

Thanks in advance for the help.

PS- Oh yeah incase you need to know its an 89 S13...
