Seems to be related to the Lighting circuitory, why would it buzz though? Does anyone think it might be the ignition switch acting up? Before this happened the key was turned once , no crank, twice no crank only turned over on the third try. After this it just refused to start. This is such a headache especially having changed the starter.

Go through and check to make sure all your grouding wires are attached securly. Other than that idk.
