If the noise doesn't reoccur no matter how much you press the brake pedal, it was probably your antenna motor or something else.

Right - will do. Got involved with the driveshaft today. I'll start a thread about it

I hear this noise on mine too. Sometimes it will run for a while so knowing this money pit; it's probably going out too. Not sure where the Toyota reliability got its reputation but I'm not feeling it with my 01. Maybe just got a lemon. Probably a $500 fix for this too in my future.

Does anyone know if the brakes work without this ABS pump working? I honestly don't care about ABS brakes. Great if a vehicle has them and they work but I've driven decades of cars and trucks without them so no biggie to me.

Noise turned out to be the heat selector motor. It turns on the heat and opens the heater door when you move the temp control. There are threads about that - I seem to have deleted those bookmarks 'cause mine is fixed. Maybe someone will chime in with those threads?

This was a zero dollar fix - I bought a tube of gorilla super glue - that's it. If you pay people to fix your vehicles methinks NO 19 year old will please you.

I do 90% of my own work of course. Only been working on cars and motorcycles for 48+ years. I don't know about the heat selector motor but I can say when I bled the brakes on the rig the other day; I had to turn the key on for this motor to kick in so they would bleed properly so that confirmed it's a brake motor. I provided a link to a rebuilt one on ebay for reference in my previous post.

I will keep your issue with the heater door in mind though if I hear any motor noises coming from the center of the dash. That is where you heard it right? Center dash?

Yeah - seemed to come from dead center. The thing is just above the passenger's left knee. Mine really raised he77 - lol.

Anyone have this problem?
I just had this similar problem and came to this site for help. This noticeably loud buzzing noise would come on after ignition and last for about 20-30 seconds. My heater would also only blow cold air with no heat on any setting. There are many posts on this forum and a few YouTube videos on the topic. Many of the problems center around the blend door actuators behind the dash to the left of the glove compartment. Before removing the actuator servo motor(s), which can be a hassle, simply disconnecting the wiring harness to the servo motor should determine which one is creating all the noise.
After I found which one was making the buzzing sound, a visual inspection revealed that the linkage appeared to jammed against a nearby metal bracket. I sprayed some lubricant on the linkage and gently pried it loose while the controls were on the heat setting and the linkage popped free and rotated several degrees. Sure enough, after I started the vehicle I had warm air to the vents!
Even though it seems that my heating (and cooling) seem to be working okay now, I wouldn't be surprised if there is some damage to the servo motor which may require replacing eventually. For now I am completely satisfied with the results. I only needed to remove the glove compartments, lower skirt and plastic floor duct tubing to get pretty clear access to the actuators. All together, about an hour worth of work but, again, I didn't replace any of the actuators- yet.
I am really glad that I found this site and registered today. Thanks to all who posted on this subject making it easier for us with the same problem.

If you hear the sound for 30 minutes or less, that is normal as it is filling the booster with nitrogen gas. If it takes longer and/or hear the buzzing sound all times, then something is wring with the system and most likely it is not going to be a cheap repair.
My daughter has a 96, 3.4, awd, that makes a buzzing noise after it is shut off. happens every 8-12 seconds and last for a couple seconds. Seems like it is under hood on drivers side but I cannot isolate it. Could this be the buzzing? I have touched all the relays and fuses in the area and nothing is vibrating. It stops after a few minutes.
I don't have enough posts to make a new thread so I am highjacking relevant threads I see.

What you're hearing is the fuel evap assy equalising pressure. It is located near the driver's side strut top hat in the engine compartment. I've heard that unscrewing the gas cap will make it stop, but it will happen the next time you start up.

It's harmless. I seem to recall a mod that was done by Habanero that involved a dry mustard can. Lol

You would be correct, also will happen randomly as the day gets hotter. At first I thought it was a bee trapped somewhere under the hood and kept buzzing. I read there was a recall on this problem and that they replaced or added something to make it stop, by 97 model they corrected the problem. I guess the recall part they added is long gone and no longer stock the part.

Mine almost sounds like a motor/vibrating sound in the speedometer dash area, then ends with an audible click on the passenger side. Does it when I start the truck and often each time I brake, same length and sounds. Maybe it's this? Never did it before, until I had brake work at Toyota! **(But I wouldn't call it loud, but noticeable)**

Buzzing sound in glovebox area

I'm new to this forum but so glad I have found this thread. I have a 2016 4R limited and have just recently started to hear a buzzing sound whenever my heat is on. It is coming from the glovebox area but when I turn my heat off, it immediately stops. Sounds like a cd is constantly spinning in my glovebox or the buzzing sound a computer makes ... is this what you guys are hearing?

This is the 3rd gen 4Runner section (1996-2002). You need the 5th gen section: https://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/ but try using this 5th gen specific google search first: site:https://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/ - Google Search

With that being said, if the noise goes away when you turn the blower motor off then it's most likely the blower motor. If it makes the noise when you change the temperature to cold then it would narrow it down further to being the blower motor. DISCLAIMER: I don't have a 5th gen and they have a lot more electronics and modules than any 3rd gen does.
