I have a loud whine coming from the area around the grill which stays there even when the engine is not running. The only way I can make it stop is disconnecting the battery. Anyone got any idea what it may be?

From the engine compartment? Is there an electrical cooling fan on this car?

I traced it back to the sounder by the horn. It is something with the smart key. I have disconnected it for the moment, I think there must be a short somewhere.
