if it goes off when you turn that could just be fluid shifting... you should check the levels before you condemn wiring

Uhm... Jeeze...

Its the idiot light cluster..... what little speaker are you talking about? There's no little speakers on top of the dash as far as I know.

Not 100% sure where the buzzer is..... but I think its a part of the idiot light cluster. So you'd have to desolder/cut the wires on it.

However, if I were you, I'd fix the wiring. That buzzer is there for a reason. Lets say you disable it...... what if you pop a radiator hose... or you bust an oil-cooler line... You'll be super fucked.

If you MUST disable something, disable the oil sensor. Just take the wire off of the oil level sensor and ground it. That'll disable the oil buzzer.. .but your coolant one and others will still work.

No. that is wrong as well.

The buzzer is in the back of the guages.

But only an absolute idiot that didn't care about his car would remove it.

And it is 1000% easier to fix the wiring or replace a bad sensor than to pull the cluster and desolder it.

Fix the car instead of busting it further.
