It does this consistently. All other aspects of the trunk work fine. That is, both the trunk release lever near passenger seat, and the trunk key unlock the trunk without any buzzing sounds. Anyone have a clue? 96 Contour SE Duratec V6 24-valve 2.5L ATX 108,000 mi. Replaced: crankshaft w/ DMD, EGR valve (clogged), EVR, DPFE, PCV valve, evap emissions hose & tube (cracked), window regulator (broken), LH & RH PCV tubes, UIM gasket (leak), ignition coil

Anyone have a clue? thats is normal every tour does it. its the locking mechanism making the noise, something that is not cable driven, but motor driven 95 SES Sold 99 SE Sport Sold 99 SVT T-Red Tan Interior.

We have had the car for almost 7 years and it just started doing this a few months ago. 96 Contour SE Duratec V6 24-valve 2.5L ATX 108,000 mi.
