Thanks for the response!

This is interesting. I recently put in a Dakota gauge cluster. After install I noticed that my steering column (Park Neutral Drive Reverse Etc) does not light up anymore. It’s noticeable at night when it’s dark cause it’s hard to tell how the transmission is engaged on the column. Sounds like maybe I messed up that resistance wire/light and it’s having a downstream impact.

I would run a jumper from a 12 volt hot source in series with a 10 ohm resistance to the brown wire connection on the VR and see if the buzzing stops. I have an external wire like this on my truck and it works fine. Temporary for testing of course for an SI alternator.
