Ghosts in ML 500 !!!
 

I keep hearing some funny noises in my ML 500 2002 around the steering just under the instrument panel. It sounds like little birds or twitters. It sometimes even goes on a little while after the ignition has been turned off. I wonder what it is. It does not happen all the time - perhaps 50% of the time. I heard and read so much about the ML before I bought one despite all odds but I never read or heard of ghosts under the hood.

if you operate the turn signal light, still got this noise?

Sounds like one of the tiny little cooling fans that are in several places under the dash. I replaced one about 30,000 miles ago. There are also fans under the hood behind the large fuse box that run on after shutoff....'course mine's only a 320. [&o]

I have not noticed if it still makes the noise at the operation of the turn signal. I will try it and see. I usually notice it when I am about to park. I am often too busy enjoying the drive.

Yes, this is normal. I had the same concern when I bought mine. There are elctric motors in the venting chamber that regulate the flaps. After the ignition is turned off the flaps return to its default position. Mine was making a clicking noise every 20 second and the buzzing noise was quite loud. I took it to the dealer and they repaired it still under warranty. They mentioned something about faulty limit or switch sensor. Something like that. It is normal for the hissing/buzzing sound to continue even up to 20 minutes after the ignition is turned off. It will stop after that.
