Damn warning buzzer

Okay, did some major ripping of stuff out of my car. Removed two plugs off of the Power Steering pump and now whenever the car is on I get this high pitched buzzing while the car is running but no idiot light to go with. Is this is power steering pump acting up for me? (actually lack thereof) Can I just loop the circut on one of the power steering plugs? Anyone even know what I am talking about, it is 3:30am afterall.

A buzzer is from low oil, or low coolant, or over rev. If you are buzzing you need to fix the sensor you disconnected, or fill the oil, or fill the coolant.

Disconnecting the power steering pump should be giving you beeps

Which one is it???

Majoryly thinking it has to do with those two wires that were connected to the Power Steering pump going to nowhere. Anyone remove thier power steering and have this happen to them?

I dont have a solution from your problem, but I love your quote- "Wait a seccond...when did that break?" This is an excellent description of RX7s.

Again won't cause the buzzer to go off, only the power steering CPU beeper.

So again, is it a Buzzer, or a beeper??

If it is the beep, then simply unplug the power steering CPU.

It is the Buzzer, then it is something else, not related to the actual power steering pump removal (unless you disconnected something else by accident).

Allright, thank you for the props on the quote, thought of it when I was taking apart the dash. (Cruse control, wiper switch down, many cracks in the damn thing I didn't know and found that the stereo was help up with two blocks of wood tucked under it. Do'h don't pay $1000 for a seccond gen RUNNING FC)

I found the soultion to my problem, removed the fuse that powers the pump or some such. It was answered by a forum member when my friend asked. So beeping is all gone and life is good again, thanks everyone!

Nah man you can't remove the fuse, it kills a couple other circuits.

Put the fuse in and unplug the power steering CPU.

Sounds like you had beeps all along.
