check to make sure the coolant sensor under the oil filter adapter is pluged in.

That's a coolant temp sensor, I'm not familiar with that causing a warning alert. The coolant level sensor in the top passenger corner of the radiator will alert if unplugged or if the water level is low.

Low oil will cause a buzz as well.

The coolant level sensor is at the top of the radiator so it can measure the coolant level. If you grounded that wire while the car was buzzing and the buzzer turned off then the sensor was the cause of the buzzing.

The coolant sender near/under the oil pedestal has nothing to do with the buzzing as it is for the Gauge on the dash.

Don't just "pull something to make the sound go away".
Find out what it is.
The Coolant level sensor( top of rad..one wire) will create a buzzing if the coolant is low.
Also the oil level IF low will set off the buzzer.

I was working on wiring up some gauges and after about 20 seconds of having the key on I had the buzzer noise. I assumed it had to do with when I drained some of the coolant when I had to install the temp sender. This thread helped me confirm that 👍💪 But damn that buzzers annoying starts low then gets higher

1. Thank you for searching and not making a new thread!
2. Welcome to 1986. They must have said, "we're going to scare people half to death with these buzzers...".

I'm glad they used the Buzzer.
