Ignition switch ?

2012 tsx wagon
All stock

When I start it I hear a "bzzzzz" by the key area
It does it if I start it slowly

Battery is new in 2014 from dealer

No issues starting and no issues with car


A friend said his 2012 civic sedan does the same thing



Anyone else have it?

I don't know if it needs new ignition switch or a relay or starter is dying ?

My car is under full warranty and dealer is amazing
However usually they are bad at trouble shooting

Once I tell them what to change (thanks to this forum), they replace it


Appreciate the help

Can you do a video? I'd be happy to help. We seem to have the same problems.

2010 TSX does it to me sometimes too, my 05 Civic did it as well. Only when I don't turn as fast as normal. almost like a shorting out/buzzing sound.

If you are describing the hum or buzz that activates when your key in position 2 ( just prior to turning over ) I believe this is normal.
My TL did it and my TSX does also. It stops after a couple seconds. I always wait and then turn the car over....might be the fuel pump setting up ? Not a mechanic, so not sure......

What he said....

I always turn to key position 2 (unless i am in hurry) and it always makes this noise... so I assumed it was normal...

I wish TSX has push button...
