Question EL glow Pedals

I bought an 3 pieces EL Glow Pedals, after installing it the first time it was fine. Then I took it out to re-run the wire to make space, when I hook it up it started "buzzing" if i turn it on it'll buzz turn it off it'll buzz. Anyone got any idea how i can fix it?


thanks

I thought EL stuff is supposed to have a buzzing sound when on. My old indiglo gauges did it, and my new EL wire does it.

That's completely normal, especially if it gets louder when you turn up the brightness. It has to do with the electrical frequency that powers them. I think the noise comes from the inverter box.
