Dont disconnect the buzzer....fix the reason why its going off. Trust me,....you overheat your car 1 time....and youll eat a coolant seal. Which = Rebuild

I think your problem might be the fact that the wire is already disconnected...I'm pretty sure the wire needs to be grounded to stop buzzing. Basically, when the sensor touches water/coolant it grounds and doesn't buzz, and when it doesn't touch water/coolant it starts buzzing because it's not grounded anymore. Make sense?

The wire comes off the harness behind the PS pump/Dipstick area, mine always gets disconnected when I change my plugs/wires and it starts buzzing...sometimes the old crispy wires can break. Check it out and let us know.

GreenMean,

The buzzer isn't for high coolant temps, it's for low coolant level in the t-stat housing. Open up the t-stat housing (when the motor is cold so you don't get a hot coolant bath) and verify that the coolant level is near the top. The sensor is in front of the t-stat housing.

Ground the brown and white wire, if I remember correctly, coming off the harness on the driver's side of the car. It takes a second to eventually turn off but it will. Just tap into it and ground it.
