When I use the remote and/or use the key to lock the door the lock actuator buzzes for a few seconds, sounds as if a relay is arc-ing.

Also, I get this same buzzing as if a relay was arc-ing when I turn the turn indicator slightly just before it locks to indicate a turn signal.

Has anyone a remedy for this?

Thanks for your inputs?

With regard to the door locking actuator it may be that the locking mechanism is in need of lubrication causing the actuator to work harder. The relay for the locking is in the fuse box in the engine bay so any arcing noise from that would be hard to hear outside the car.

The indicator switch is probably arcing because you are not engaging it fully. I have had that on other makes of car.
