Unhappy Need help! had a short fixed it now loud high pitched buzzing coming from inside dash

My hazards were not working, the fuse would get shorted instantly, I fixed that and when I put the fuse in the hazard works but there is a high pitched buzzing noise, I have looked about everywhere it's coming from the driver side, but I can't figure out why or where exactly, I did a little research and I unplugged the ocilator and it still didn't go off, it buzzest as soon as I put the fuse in the hazard fuse spot, and it does it with the key off or on, or even started and warmed up, any ideas! Please help.

Your Flasher ECU is shot.Most likely the relay or a component in the board.

The flasher unit is a black rectangular box under drivers side dash. Unplug it and if the beeping isn't coming from there and still going off, if you have airbag it will be a fault with airbag control unit also under dash usually towards tranny tunnel above pedals.

I see you have a 1984, so no airbag. The buzzing is probably coming from the oscillator behind the battery. Unplugging it will probably stop the buzzing but not fix the issue.

I didn't see he had an 84 as he never gave that info out..as he should have when posting.
It helps to know what series or year of car.
