No buzzers, occasional failures.

Ever since I bought my 86 n/a 7, i have noticed that my buzzer dont work. For example, when the fuel goes low, or most importantly the 6 or 7 rpm buzzer doesnt go off when im in those rpm's.

Once in a while, certain lights wont work such as the light under my ash tray or the light for defrost and legs vent.

I dunno is this just normal? Seeing as it is a 21 year old car?

i thought the buzzer goes off when you hit the redline mark, which is 8000 rpm, not 7.

The over rev buzzer goes off at redline. On Turbo, auto trannys, and S4 non turbos, that would be 7000 RPM. On S5 manual tannys non turbos that would 8000.

For the lights, I would inspect/clean the ground under the trailing coil in the engine bay.
At least to start.

I think it's 2 gallons. 1/8th of a tank.
