RE: weird oil buzzer sounds



If you have over 100,000 miles, REPLACE YOU OIL PUMP NOW!!!!! Deal with the
rest of the crap later, faulty switch, you're due for a new pump anyway, and
if it goes, it will be fatal, get ready to pay $ 125.00 or so...Best advice,
Do not drive it until you fix the problem (I know easier said done). You
could blow up your engine! Trust me I know...Just my non-mechanical 2
cents...
