redline buzzer help... doesnt frickin work!

i just wanted to link this to canada in case someone here knows a 'how-to' or something. the fsm electrical section scares me frankly, and all the threads i found on this topic say to simply 'fix it'. need a little more help than that.

i searched using [rpm buzzer] [redline buzzer] [warning buzzer]

granted i only looked through the 1st 3 pages of 300 possible matches, but alot of times i get the word buzzer from page 4 of a thread that has nothing to do with the my topic.

thanks
chev

yeah, mine isn't working either, but i just never bothered getting it fixed...just got a shift light instead actually.

i may try to get it working again though, and if i do i'll let you know

Does your coolant buzzer work?.. Cant remember if its the same buzzer or not..
I cant even hear the buzzer go off in my car, I just take it to the rev limiter...

coolant buzzer/redline buzzer/low oil buzzer are all the same buzzer and it's on the back of your gauges.

i just came back from a coffee run. redlined... nothing....

coldfire.... take pictures!

max, earlier this summer i looked down to see my tach off the scale(prolly 8500rpm) when does this rev limiter kick in? and where is it located? ecu?

terrh, ive gotten that far, now i want to know how to fix it the mini map i drew in the other post shows the 4 pins that have to either be desoldered and new buzzer put in or what i want to do, just head to rad shack for a replacement.

Theres no rev limiter stock as far as I know. I've had my stock EFI over 9000RPM.


My buzzer works. My exhaust is so loud at that RPM you can't hear it.

lol, take pictures of what?

and yes, the buzzer has 3 purposes (maybe a 4th...i forget), but the thing is everything but the RPM function is re-iterated on the "idiot light" cluster.

i'll try to take a look at the circuit diagram when i get time. should be just a matter of testing to see if the actual sound unit is functioning properly/getting power, and then it's a pretty simple trace once you determine if it is the power/ground or signal that is at fault...


oh, and the stock "rev limiter" on FC TIIs are about 7500 (don't know if there is a difference between S4/S5 TIIs)...it's somewhere in the ECU, lol

Yeah the car does have a rev limiter, the n/a does cut fuel somewhere around 8000 rpm.. I play with the rev limiter setting on my haltech on the TII depending on how much boost I am running since I dont have enough injector for really high rpms at high boost..below 17 psi I run it up to about 9500, over that I hold it to 8000...
