Strange (electronic?) sound coming from dash

[ednaknew]

First 3 hour road trip with my 2023 Bronco Sport Heritage. At the top of the mountain we were crossing my speedometer sounded like an old tv trying to find a station. Definitely sounded electrical. I had cruise control and the air on. I turned the cruise control off and back on in the video. It happened intermittently on that drive but hasn’t happened since. Any ideas?

Sounds like you've got something shorting out or just vibrating at a very high frequency inside your dash. I'd take it in and have the dealer check it out.

Sounds about right. Thanks Kris.

Hello! Could you privately message us with your VIN and the name and location of your Ford dealer so I can look into this electric sound concern? Thank you!

I had a blinker relay go bad on me and it sounded similar to this. It tweaked out and by steering column began to smoke until the wires melted I guess. Not sure if its the same problem considering this was a mid 00's car with the classical blinker sound.

It does sound like a wire shorting or a vibration. Hard to tell with the road noise, but I would get it checked out. At least show the video if unable to reproduce.

Thank you for your input Dakota. When I brought it into the Ford dealer and showed them the video they did absolutely nothing. They said they'd have to see it in real life.
Thankfully, it hasn't happened again. Even when I did this same drive a couple months later.
