Buzzer is going Haywire

This thing is getting annoying, the Buzzer on my 87 TII is going crazy. It starts buzzing me when i take sharp corners, and then while i'm driving it just starts harrassing me for no apparent reason. I won't even be close to redline, it will start at 3 grand in second gear and i shift into 3rd and it goes away. 5 minutes later i'm cruising at 65mph and it starts going off on me.

I checked the radiator and its filled with fluid so i don't think its buzzing me because the engine is hot, not like the stock temperature guage works in the first place.

HOW DO I TURN THE FRICKIN THING OFF!

The buzzer in the dash goes off for oil level, Redline, and coolant level.

If it is only going off around corners your oil is too low!

also check your sensors connections. My car's oil level sensors plug was filthy and was half way connected so I wiped it and pluged it in and wala no more annoying buzzer on sharp turns.

a faulty oil sending unit will make it go off too. mine was faulty and set it off. while the dealership was in there they unplugged it permanently. that buzzer was put in by mazda for two reasons.
1: to warn you about low oil situation
2: so that you could not over rev your motor in a racing situation where you would have a helmet on.

when your buzzer goes off, it's for coolant... or it means your 2 quarts low on oil. THe rotary engine naturally burns oil as part of the combustion process. So check the oil everytime you fill up with gas. Or else suffer a blown engine. Remember : Buzzer? Low coolant, or 2 quarts low on oil. simple.

the idiot light/light cluster is a very poor warning sation at best....

They have major problems with cold solder joint... You should take it out and resolder the joints (which made my clock work again)////(and my seat belt light)

p.s Just trust the buzzer man. It's our only savior. Besides theres no reason why that buzzer should come on. UNless your redlining.. then it's ok.

I hate those buzzers, I'm starting to wonder if they put one in there for washer fluid low... That is the only light on the idiot panel on and i have a buzzer that is going non-stop.. All fluid levels are good but the washer fluid, I'm about to put water in it
