Every time I open the hood on my 2025 Bronco Sport,
There is a humming noise in the engine compartment.
I have not started the engine.
It eventually goes away.
Does anyone have the same problem or know what the hum is ?

Are you talking about after shutting the car off? I think that might be the headlights. When you hear the humming maybe put your ear to the headlight. After driving and shutting off my BS I sometimes hear the headlights humming. From others posting on the forum there is a fan with the headlights to help keep them cool.

I did not start the Bronco.
I had not started it at all today.
I opened the hood and heard the humming.
Very odd.

All kinds of relays & such cycling when you approach with the fob on your person. It still drives me nuts after 8 months.

There are many threads on this. It is the LED headlights cooling fans. They come on every time a door or the hood opens.

This is Completely Normal. The fans in the headlights will activate when ever the BCM wakes up. Opening the hood woke it up.
