Warning Buzzer, no warning lights....

Today on my t2 i removed the A/C compressor, condenser, and AC rad along with some lines. I cut all of these wires and just taped them off. I also removed the Powersteering pump and lines, and also cut and taped the wires off. Also removed were the mechanical fan, and i added a electrical with a temp switch. The car has no warning lights on, but the warning buzzer is going off, and makes me want to die. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

if it is really buzzer (and not a beep) then you probably cut the coolant level sensor wire, and the light or cluster is bad.

If it is beeps its probably because you cut all the wires to the power steering system, but left the power steering computer hooked up,

If you read the FAQ for FC sticky thread found at the top of this section you would have seen the dash Buzzer comes on from Over-rev/Redline, Low coolant, and low oil.

So if you have a buzzer going off (and not a beep) then it is one of those three things.

i had an n/a that used to do this, but only when started cold and after sitting a while. no warning lights, just an annoying high pitched eeeeeeeee (higher pitched than the low coolant buzzer) really weird, never did figure it out.. oil and coolant levels were normal

if i were you, unplug the coolant level sensor and see if the coolant light comes on or if the buzzer tone changes. Same thing with the oil level sensor, should be located on the drivers side, coming out of the oil pan. If the lights come on for each, then it probably is something else

im not sure about this, but would you still get the over-rev buzzer if the trailing coil was unplugged? you could try unplugging it and see if the buzzing goes away, but you will get a beeping noise while it is unplugged

idk how to disconnect the computer properly (having a hard time pulling the clip to what i think is the ps computer)
so i pulled the 10A fuse labled for the power stearing. it solved the buzzing problem but warning lights arnt working still

also my sterio still wont work. idk if that has anything to do with it. but my accessories is giving 12v of power when key is on. but yellow wire is only giving off .22v on or off

You need to put the fuse back in, and unplug the power steering computer.

It is located right behind the drivers dash speaker.
