Ford Figo: Weird noise when the ignition is on worries me

The nearest Ford ASC is 8 hrs away in Mandi.

BHPian Candy$Cars recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

My brother's Figo is making this noise when the car is in accessory/on position and also when the engine is on. We are in Chamba(HP) and need to return home tomorrow - 4 hours journey. The nearest FORD ASC is 8 hrs away in Mandi.

Can Someone tell what the noise is and if it is safe to continue our journey back home?

Here's what BHPian Jeroen had to say on the matter:

That is a weird noise.

As it also shows up with the key in the ACC/On position it must be something that is electrically driven. I don't recognize the sound as such. But is easy to troubleshoot where it comes from. Just pull the fuses one by one. Go with the fuses with the highest rating down to the lowest. As soon as the noise disappears you have identified what is making the noise.

Are any aftermarket accessories installed?

Good luck.

Here's what BHPian MT_hyderabad had to say on the matter:

The noise is from something that only should start when the engine is on. May be water pump or any fan etc.

Due to some wiring problem, it is starting without the engine turned on.

If I were you, I will drive to the nearest mechanic and get it checked. I don't have to go to authorised service centre for that.

You should not investigate further with the engine off, as that part may run dry and get damaged.

With the engine on condition your car should drive normally.

I think it is a petrol engine right? I suspect the coils have gone kaput. Else if it is the diesel pot check the injectors. The Rhythm/Beat is very similar to the firing sequence.
