Default Buzzing noise with engine on

Ok so I have a 1990XJ and today all of the sudden when I turned my lights on with my engine on the Buzzing noise that is usually is made to let you know your key is in the ignition and on or if you left your lights on with engine off has started going off. I have no idea why and I was hoping you guys might have any ideas. It's to chilly and dark for me to want to be out there right now so I'll check it out tomorrow morning/afternoon. Lemme know of some stuff to check plz. Thanks in advance guys.

Thanks I'll replace that. Orileys has a lifetime warranty one for under 20. I'll give that a shot.

My driver side plunger wasn't being depressed enough in the end. After freakin with the ignition switch for about 3 hours -_- Sometimes it's best to check the little things first.

Always thought the ground on the engine. ..the strap was for that. .. to stop radio background noise.
