Driving In Snow and BUZZING in DASH
Driving my 01 S500 in snow for the first time, fun fun fun. When I lose traction with the back tires the light goes on in the instruction cluster and I hear a little BUZZING sound from the same area. Anyone experience this???

Could very well be your abs or just the sound of the light. Can't say I've heard that.
