Where are the warning buzzers located?
 
Not sure where they are located on the car

There is one in the cabin CPU In the driver's kick panel. One in the power steering computer above the driver's left leg. And one in the gauge cluster.
The ignition/door/light warning chime is in the cabin CPU. The power steering error beeper is in the unit that controls it. Finally, the buzzer in the gauge cluster is for red line, low oil and low coolant.

Okay got it, I have a wire coming right from the oil pan, where would that plug into? it's not plugged in and i'm thinking that is what's causing the buzzing.

There's a plug on the body harness on the driver's side same harness the coolant temp probe is connected to.

It's not plugged in, I have have full coolant and full oil but the buzzer constantly goes off after a minute or 2 after starting the car. I don't want to remove the buzzer if I do not have to.

Then don't remove it lol

The level sensor on top of the radiator has a single brown wire that runs towards the airbox. They are frequently cracked and missing bits of insulation. If it grounds against anything it'll sound the alarm. Also, are you basing your coolant level on what's in the bottle alone ?

That oil level sensor really must be plugged in. I wonder if it is also grounding out somewhere. Just have a good look around until you find it's mate. It won't have sprouted legs and run off. Tho it could be ripped off if the engine was removed in a poor fashion.

There was not a radiator in the car when I bought it, put in an aftermarket one and that along with the bottle is filled, I know there is no wire going to the top of it.

That's a problem. Where is the sensor ? Where's the wire? Sounds to me like there's some trickery happening.

Snap a couple pictures of sensor and wire please.

Where would the sensor be located? I know there a few wires not plugged in

The coolant sensor is supposed to be in middle of the top of the radiator. And the wire comes from the passenger side of the car.

If you don't have a spot for the sensor you can just ground the wire if you find it. That will stop the buzzing

The radiator coolant level sensor is located on the top of the radiator right in the middle. When you open the hood and look down at the top of the rad, it'll be staring back at you.

Okay, where would the sensor plug into, a wire coming from the passenger side?

Update found the wire, grounded it out now no more buzzer. I have also been having some idle issues. It bounces from 750 RPM to almost wanting to stall out. I unplugged the TPS and the idle held steady at 750 RPM. Does this mean the TPS need adjustment?

Most likely. Search ;)
