> on your car you (may) have 3 things that are sending info to the oil
guages, You have a high pressure sensor on the head where you placed this
sender, then you have a low presure sending unit that one lives on top of
the oil cooler housing. Both of them give you readings that make your Buzzer
go off. If either fails there goes the ligth and the buzzer. There are time
however that neither is at fault and what it is then is the buzzer set up
itself that lives behind the cluster...Those go bad and no matter how many
senders you put in the thing keeps buzzing......Oh and it could be some
ground...

live in the oil cooler housing infront of the low temp one.
