rev limiter sound

really simple i just need to know where to locate it under dash and unplug it or stop it from beeping at me :P and no im not over revving it just stays on constantly for no reason what so ever im tired of searching for what causing it cause i fixed numerous problems and spent alot of money into this turbo II i own now /sigh

lol...are the coolant and oil levels OK?

I think thats the same buzzer thats used for your low coolant and oil level warning so removing it would be dangerous unless you're OK with just the light coming on. Which knowing our crappy idiot clusters would probably be a bad idea.

yes everything is fine i had it sitting in the shop for a week or two to get all the work done on it, my dad left it sitting in his back yard for a little over 4 years and it had its problems before it came into my hands so we fixed pretty much every problem it encountered this time it just runs perfectly fine so i just wanna get rid of the sound it isnt like im gonna rev it over 8k this car is completely stock unmolested and like new.

I don't think you realize just how lucky we are to have an annoying buzzer that is designed to save our engines from catastrophic coolant and oil leaks. Check for air in the cooling systems.

Make sure the wires for the low oil and low coolant sensors are ok.

It could also be a severed wire to the sensor. Mine was cut when I got my 10th AE and the coolant buzzer would go off even when the coolant was fine.

yeah, beeps and buzz's are different. buzzing is very bad! Figure out why before you just get rid of it. It might save you alot of time and money down the road.

LOL! i remember I was goiingg to rip that son of a bitch out too.. my wideband gauge blocks the "oil level" on the idiot cluster so I couldn't see that it was lighting up until my buddy sitting on the passenger side says something is lighting up back there. checked my oil, almost on empty. not very smart of me to block that cluster huh? hahaha
