Q: Weird noise coming from under the car when turning the key to where all the electric stuff come on.
The car has a flowmaster exhaust, I don't know if that has anything to do with it. When I turn the key to where the electric stuff are on not the engine it makes a weird noise and stays on when the engine is turned on. The noise is not under the hood, it is somewhere under the car near the exhaust. I also see a wrench in the dash now. But I don't notice anything different when driving.
My car has 30000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
