Turbo 2 not working after buzzer disconected

I have a turbo 2 and i installed an aromotive pump on it since i went single turbo with a haltech. I know most of the guages aren't going to work but the fuel tank guage was working before i disconnected the coolant buzzer. I didnt notice it till i had finished the whole project off. i seperated the cooant buzzer on the guage board would mess every thing up. the plug in the gas tank is hooked up too for the fuel metering stick.

That is not a coolant buzzer, it is a "ENGINE DEATH SOON UNLESS YOU STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING" buzzer.

It reports over rev/redline, low oil, and low coolant.

Pretty dumb to remove it, but it should not effect any engine operation with a Haltech.

You should be able to drive the car with out any gauge cluster even plugged in and the only thing that wouldn't work would be the power steering.

I had a similar problem. The buzzard went off and off and off, I constantly tried finding out what the problem was, eventually my car just died, nothing, no power, nothing.
Found out later it was the coolant buzzard, so I filled her back up, but again, nothing when I turned the key to on, it was totally dead.

I disconnected the battery for 10 minutes, hooked it back up and it worked like a charm.

No I'm pretty sure it's totally unrelated. I grounded my coolant sensor buzzer when I was troubleshooting my car when it was off and I had some air bubbles in the system and all it does it stop the buzzer from sounding and the light from popping up.

I can't believe you didn't read my reply.

If you are stupied enough to remove the buzzer, the only thing that it would effect is that you would no longer have the warnings for low oil, low coolant, and redline/over rev.

It would not effect anything else unless you fucked up the gauge cluster when you removed it.
