Buzzer goes off when turning sometimes

I have a 1991 NA Vert and I've been having this problem lately when I sometimes make turns at slower speeds that the buzzer will go off. I believe if the same buzzer for the revline/oil/coolant buzzer. I've checked my oil countless times and I'm about to go check the coolant to be 100% sure its not either of these.

Does anyone else know what could cause this on the car?

I have a small oil leak and it looks like its at the OMP? but I'm not sure that would cause a problem because my oil levels are fine. I'm going to run a little premix to be sure soon since I'm already used to it from riding a 2stroke scooter.


Also on another note.. my trunk lid stopped opening yesterday after having it for a week. Do those cables sometimes come loose? I've tried with the key and with the latch.. the latch feels loose almost and won't pop it. Do these convertibles have a trunk safety switch hidden under the top somewhere like some other cars do to prevent you from opening the trunk with the top only partially down?


If anyone can think of anything regarding the trunk or buzzer issue please let me know. I've been searching the forums like a madman trying to find someone with the same issue and I haven't seen it..

Usually that indicates low oil. When you turn to the right oil moves to the left side of the pan and exposes the oil level sensor. Then you hear the beep.

Low oil or coolant.

The trunk on a convertible doesn't have any sort of safety switch. If it's not releasing, you should check out the end of the cable at the interior lever. You might be able to pull on it with some pliers to get it to pop. If not, there's no real way to get at the trunk from the passenger compartment. You can remove the carpet that's under the top, but then there's a wall of sheet metal blocking access to the trunk. Fishing some wire through a hole is about the only option at that point.

i was having the same thing happen and i ended up being really low on oil. i'm stupid for not checking as to why it could be going off right away and i kept driving like that. if i wouldn't have checked when i did i probably wouldn't be driving an rx7 anymore. so like what everyone else is saying, youre probably low on whatever the light is beeping for. i'd check that out a.s.a.p.
