Subject:Oil Pressure Buzzer? After Tach Wiring.
From:Michael Knight
Date:Mon, 16 May 2005 11:17:59 -0500

So I finally got off my hump this weekend and ran a wire from the front of
my 85 Vanny to the rear. Connectiona wer made at the - side of the coil to
the green wire for the Tach. This entire cluster came from an 87, I replaced
the entire unit. The tach works excellently. But the oil pressure warning
system has changed.

Prior to the connection the oil light would flash at idle or low rpms, then
it would stop blinking at the touch of the accelerator.

After connecting this wire the light never stops blinking and after about 30
sec. there is a buzzer driving me crazy! It sounds like the key buzzer but
with a different pitch.

Have any of you ever experienced this before?

Thanks,

Michael Knight
