Need Help Desperately!!!

i have an 86 NA rx7. i have asked this question before and have been shutdown, this is my plea for help!!! WHERE IS THE WARNING BUZZER LOCATED?!?!? I have a short in my wiring, i know it, because my PW wont unroll or work and the fuse keeps blowing. i am pulling the wiring very soon, and going for a complete rebuild, although in the meantime this car is my daily driver, and that freakin buzzer going off constantly for minutes at a time is really stealing from the pleasure i get from driving my car. so much in fact that in tthe last 2 days i have seriously considered selling her if i cant eliminate the buzzer. all i need to know is where it is and how to bypass/disconnect. i know it is there to help you, and prevent anything too drastic from happening, but i cant drive with that buzz anymore. i literally am going crazy. all i need is to have it bypassed for 3 and a half weeks and the car is being rebuilt from the ground up. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

i just did the search for this problem and found no answer or solution. the biggest thing being, my oil is fulll and my coolant lines are bleed and full, the idot cluster isnt lighting up and my cluster is functional, so what the hell? is it a short ro what?!?!?! i just need to get rid of this problem b4 my love for the rx turns to a hate towards whoever designed that buzzer to constantly buzz. it happens when i hit a bump or turn a corner. and it will continue until the next bump or corner knocks whatever it is sending the signal back into place. PLEASE I NEED HELP!

I dunno where the buzzer is exactly but, have you checked the wiring to the coolant level sensor? I wouldn't trust the warning cluster to tell you jack unless you know for a fact that it works. you could try unplugging it and running the wire that goes to it to ground. I wouldn't leave it like that though...just ground it to test and see if that works then get it fixed.

Do not disable the buzzer. It is sounding because you have low oil, low coolant or there is a wiring problem.

Make sure the coolant level sensor at the top of the rad is connected and not bad (Factory Service Manual...) and that the oil level sensor is not shorted to ground (FSM...).

You have a wiring problem. The Factory Service Manual contains procedures to test both sensors and the wiring to them.

Back of the instrument cluster, as the Factory Service Manual and Haynes manual points out...

Fix the car instead of wrecking it further.
