Oil Buzzer

[desinor at sympatico.ca (Jean-Claude Désinor)]

  Oil Pressure Warning unit, or something of that name.
  It is a board indide the instrument cluster, L shaped. Sits behind the 
speedo.
  If there is a bad connection (cold solder joint finally gave up in my 
case), you get light and or buzzer until you go insane.
  I redid the solder joints in mine two years ago, after spending hours 
and money to replace sensors, pouring too much oil, etc. After redoing 
the solder, no more problems.
