Which wire/connector is this?

Have no clue what it is? And I do not have a wiring diagram and it's hard to make out on all the online wiring diagrams. It's also frayed and about to separate. Hopefully the picture comes out clear.


Reason why I ask is I am trying to pinpoint why that obnoxious buzzer is going off. It will go off when key is turned to ON after about 10 seconds, and randomly go off when I drive it (which was probably back in October). I've already done a new coolant level sensor, radiator flush months ago, new thermostat, check oil level/pressure sensor on oil pan, and I am stumped. Unless the real problem is that my radiator is clogged up but the car never went above middle on stock temp gauge.

Thanks

You see the oil pressure sensor immediately to the left of the connector (looks like a bell)? That connector slides onto the sensor hat.

I figured that was it. Now my question is, I have an Oil Pressure Temp/Sensor gauge I want to hook up. Could I bypass that wire or connect into that wire and buzzer will go away? The buzzer will just randomly go off like I said, and would happen at 40mph, or 60mph, sometimes even 15mph.

I guess I just need to pull the wiring for the oil pressure gauge from the dash and just find out what happens.

Thanks for the help.

Check the OIL level...
If your level is down it will make the sensor BUZZ.

Not down at all. Oil level is perfectly fine.

Rebuild with 7-8k miles. Broke in correctly. Plus I already tested for air bubbles by pulling rad cap off and running the car to get the air bubbles out of the radiator.


The random buzzing HAS to be that wire being messed up. It's about to separate from the connector.
