buzzer going crazy

I put my key into the accessory position, and one of the buzzers starts going crazy, it sounds like a small weak horn. I'm not sure what's going on, I now the oil and coolant sensors are plugged in and there is plenty of oil and coolant in the car. Currently I can't locate the plug for the warning cluster, could that be a factor in this problem? Any remedies anybody?

Does the "small horn" sound have a specific sequence? I had a similar problem a while back and found out that the number of times the noise beeps determines the problem your car is having.

it's just a constant buzzing noise, i think it might be the same buzzer for the coolant and oil level sensors.

Err.. what does the warning lights (idiot cluster) say? You should check the coolant and the oil pressure sensors to see if they are working right.

If you ground the coolant level buzzer wire to the chassis it won't buzz...

i wouldn't know what the cluster says because i have yet to find the harnsss plug for the warning cluster, it should be behind the dash, but so far I haven't bee able to track it down in 2 whole days of searching. Maybe the lack of a cluster is setting off the buzzer?

A reasonable guess. But you won't know until you find that plug, right? Keep looking for it...

Sounds like air in the cooling system. Even if it looks topped off, try opening the air bleed screw at the top of the rad while filling it up- even a little air in the system will do this.

My buzzer also used to drive me nuts.


It now sits in a box with small spare parts. I took the ******* thing right out of the circuit board.
