The buzzer is not doing anything, how about your temp gauge?

Chances are, whoever worked on your car last, or owned you car last, didn't want to bother purchasing a new coolant level sensor.. and so they just took the wire from the harness and grounded it to the body so that the buzzer wouldn't ever come on... I've seen this done on soo many cars.. the sensor is only a few bucks...

Look around the area of the rad, I belive you are looking for a brown wire, and it's prolly grounded to the fram near the rad or the front somewhere

i think it's just a small model car that he freeze-framed to make it look like it's driving.

After watching it a little bit longer, I think you're right.
