High pitched noise from pass. side engine compartment S70 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be kurt on  Wed Jan 31 08:03 CST 2007 [RELATED]

Hi Brickboarders,
I have a 99 S70AWD with ~73K miles that just recently started making a high pitched whining noise when I move the ignition switch to II (not yet started). The car starts fine (although a little sluggish now that the battery is 8 yrs old) but the noise continues. The noise pitch changes depending on the electrical load (blinkers, A/C, headlights) so initially i was thinking it was the alternator...however, would it make the sound when the car is not running? I've read some of the other posts on air pumps, fuel pumps, etc but none seem to have the same symptoms.
Thanks for any insight you may have.
