'85 4KQ Buzzing in dash

[urquattro]

You didn't say if the buzzing sounded like it was of a mechanical or an
electrical nature ...

If it is mechanical I would recommend that you simply remove the IC hood ...
it is held in place by two screws ... and take the car for a drive in an
area where there is no traffic so you can focus on localizing it ...

If the buzzing sounds electrical my prime suspect would be the flasher relay
... with the underlying culprit being the emergency flasher switch.
Sometimes you can make it go away by working the emergency flasher switch
... sometimes not.  A squirt of DeoxIT resolved the problem in my '85 4kSQ
...

HTH!

My '85 4kq has a buzzing noise coming behind the dash.  The sound only
happens between ~2700-3300 RPMs.  It happens even if im not in gear and not
moving, but it doenst happen if the clutch is depressed (even depressed only
a tiny bit).

As far as i can tell there's nothing wrong with the way the car runs or
anything, but the buzzing is very annoying.  But even more than being
annoyed by it, i am curious as to what it might be.  If anyone has seen this
before or has any clue as to what it might be, please let me know.   Any
thoughts would be appreciated.
