How Do I Disable The Warning Buzzer?

How do I disconnect the buzzer. It's next to the tachometer but wonder if I could just disconnect something to keep it quiet. If not, how do I get at it, from the front or bottom.

Im not sure about the "buzzer"
because i bought mine from a field and it needs a rebuild.

BUT the only buzzing noise i hear is coming from under my headlight i think its my headlight motor, and the only way to get at it is taking off your intake/front bumper.

IF thats not it, sorry for posting ****.

Is the buzzer constantly on for some reason or are you wanting to remove it because you don't want to hear it when you hit redline?

It's behind the cluster, remove all the screws then reach behind it and disconect both connectors and the speedo cable. Once all 3 are unpluged the cluster should come right out.

I hate these threads...... The buzzer is there for a reason.... It goes off at redline, or when there's a problem. If there's a problem, FIX THE PROBLEM!

The ONLY reason I could even POSSIBLY fathom to remove the buzzer is that its annoying at redline... and even then... think of it as a shift buzzer... but chances are your car doesn't make any power at redline.

I hate the sound of that buzzer i removed my guage cluster and pulled it out..never been happier. As long as my oil pressure and water temp's are good i know my engines not going to blow. After 20 some years the sound of that thing was like someone choking a bird ehh .

only an absolute idiot would remove the buzzer.

It indicates that you have exceeded redline (bad)
Or
That you have low coolant (very bad-and the water temp gauge won't show when you pop a hose because there won't be any water for the sensor to read)
Or
You have low oil (the worst- as the oil pressure gauge won't show when you pop a hose or get a major oil leak until the oil foams and losses pressure (about 3 quarts too late).

The buzzer is there for a reason. It is to prevent you from damaging the car. Again only an idiot that didn't care about his or her motor or car would remove or disable it.

nope... when you blow your engine because you didn't know better, you can send it back for Ben to rebuild.

I think he is only booked up a couple weeks in advance right now

So be it.

Its behind the gauge cluster. Remove the gauge cluster, ... get out your soldering iron.. and desolder it.

Nah, You normally post intelligent and correct, therefore I consider you an intelligent person.

Intelligent people know that the buzzer is a good thing to have and would probably agree with my post.

Ah, no. that would be very wrong. There are plenty of other ways an engine can blow.

The warning buzzer will tell you about a sudden oil or coolant loss well before the gauges will and before any damage can be done. Even if you check your oil and water before every drive (and I bet you don't), it's entirely possible to spring a leak while driving. Most of the oil or water can be gone before you see the gauges react, and that's assuming you're watching the gauges instead of the road...

If the warning buzzer is on often enough to annoy you, you're must be frequently over-revving the engine or driving around with low oil or coolant. Do you think engine failure might be more annoying?

I still can't belive that anyone would want to remove the buzzer. When I blew my coolant hose, the buzzer was the first thing I heard and I immediately shut the car down. Rotaries overheat quickly if something goes whack in the cooling system. I broke my waterpump/fan belt a while back and the car didn't hesitate to overheat within about 20 seconds. Leave the buzzer in for your own protection. It's there for a reason, and will probably save your *** sometime in its lifetime. Like its been said, if the buzzer is going off constantly, it's because something is going wrong, or you're just a dumbass and think that constantly redlining your car is a necessity.

I don't think they were edited out.... I think the server lost the posts... because I posted a rather non-offensive one that isn't showing up.

And if they were edited out.. That was pretty faggy man.
