Default Buzzing from driver side of engine bay? (MS3 install)

Halfway through installing a Braineack built MS3 on my 99. I bought it second hand. I have the wiring complete (as far as I am aware) and am ready to plug into a computer and get into the software side. However, when I turn the key to the on position so tunerstudio can detect the MS3, I get a loud electric buzzing sound from the driver side of the engine bay. Anyone have a crack at where I went wrong? I can provide any pics or additional info necessary.

This could be the issue without the engine running?

It's running with power on. Turn that idle setting off.

I had the same issue. It's as easy as changing on setting in TS from on to off for the idle valve on startup.
