Technical Buzz from wiring when braking

[Paul David]

Hi
I'm getting a buzz from the wiring when I apply the brakes. I've tracked it down to the cables running along the roof channel, presumably to the brake lights. I wanted to have a look at them to check they are ok (not damaged), but they are really hard to get to. I have a pop top (camper) which reduces how much roof liner a can pull away. Does anyone know why this might be happening? Is it serious? Thanks for any advice.

Bit embarrassing to update: after taking most of the van apart trying to track down this worrying electrical buzz I finally ended up realising it was "loudest" near the rear light cluster. I was in the process of taking all that side out and to cut a long story short found that the tow bar socket had been removed and all the wires just bundled up together. Separating them and isolating each one stopped the buzz that was running around the whole electrical system. Lesson for idiots like me - don't leave any exposed wiring. Sorry to waste the time of anyone who may have read this thread.
