Arrow Buzzer will not shut up. Oscillator is removed. A fix?

Ok, so my latest addition to my Rx-7 Collection is a blue 85 GSL-SE. first thing i noticed was that the buzzer would stay on. i removed the oscillator by the drivers side head-light as advised in other posts, but it was a no go. the buzzer still keeps going off as soon as the key is in the ON position. i'm getting no warning lights and i know both the oil and coolant are full.

so how do i remove or unplug the buzzer itself?

you can see a bit of what i mean in this video of me starting it up. keep in mind i do have a replacement 13b, so the warning buzzer is doing nothing but annoying me right now.

i had this problem when i got my GS it ended up being the buzzer for the door that would not shut up, it was in the same circuit as the hazards and the dome light, i found out that circuit has its own small computer control unit box unde rthe drivers side of the dash and mine was bad, i since have removed that fuse and wallah! no more buz BUT my hazards, dome lights, and door buzzer now do not work, i simple havent gotten around to getting a new control unit yet.

hope this helps ya

is the buzzer inside the "Flasher box" itself? because if so, i guess i can just rip out that out and cut the wires to the buzzer. although removing the flasher box is such a pain in the ****. haha

yup. its on the Flasher Box itself, finally got around to pulling the thing out of my white Rx7 today to put into the blue one. not looking forward to doing that job again. you really need to be a contortionist. the first 5 minutes of my latest youtube vid sorta explain it. heheh

My oscillator is unplugged as well, but the buzzer keeps going! Strangest part is it's still on even with the car off and the key out of the ignition. In fact, the only way I can stop it is to unplug the battery. To drive the car I have to pull the fuse for the hazards which kind of bugs me. Should I just remove the buzzer from this flasher box or is this an indicator of something worse?

Also, I read another thread similar to my issue that said the guy replaced the hazard relay and the buzzing went away. I want to try this as my hazards don't even work at the moment, but can't find the location of the hazard relay in the FSM, where is it?
