The vehicle:
2001 Ford F-350 Super Duty Diesel 7.2ltr
The System:
Pioneer AVIC-f700BT
Rockford fosgate amps, 2ch and a 4ch and a .5f cap
The problem:
this problem started when i was installing an starter kill switch using the wires at the ignition harness. i was testing the switch so i was cycling the ignition. i turned the truck off then to run and had a significant amount of interference that hadnt been there just a few moments ago.
here's what ive done so far to narrow down the problem:
regrounded the head unit
checked amp grounds. good
ran rca directly to the amp, still buzzed.
there is absolutely no interference in ACC, only in RUN
i pulled the radio fuse and the buzzing still existed
so i started pulling fuses until the buzzing sound went away and i found that the circuit causing the interference is 30amp fuse that controls the fuel heater, wastegate solenoid, and the injector driver module relay. This is all diesil only equipment.
i pulled out the injector driver relay and that eliminated half of the interference but not all of it. i dont know what the wastegate is and the fuel heater im assuming isnt active because it's a warm day. also, when the 30 amp fuse is pulled the wait to start light doesn't come on. the sound doesn't seem to be following anything as far as i can see. when the truck is running turning on the AC or anything else that draws a lot of power changes the tone of the interference.
so this is where i'm at now, i tried disconnecting the kill switch and checked all the wiring and its fine so i know its not the kill switch. i dont know what to do next... any help at all would be greatly appreciated, i think my client is scared i really messed something up do i want to get it fixed asap!

in acc mode: no interference
off position : no interference
in run w/truck running or not running: it makes the buzzing sound

Hey everybody, it happened again.  I wish I knew what was causing it.  It must be IE8's invisibility function.  Does anyone know how to defeat it?

I plead the 5th.   You will have to make that call.  Following are the search results for pioneer noise  there are 361 topics that meet  that criteria.

i dont think it's the head unit because it still makes the noise even when the radio fuse is not installed in the fuse box
