BlackHeartValentine 0 Posted April 19, 2006 Well, I was on my way to work going bout 75 mph on the highway and it was early so I cut the rear defroster on cause of due on my back window...about a minute later the DASH Starts Screaming at me!! WAaaaaahhhhhhhh!! It sounded like it was coming from behind the clocks!! It wasn't coming from the engine but from somewheres inside the dash!! What the hell would make it do that? It stopped as soon as I slowed down to 3rd gear. HALP! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted April 19, 2006 Oil pressure buzzer? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corradophil 3 Posted April 19, 2006 Sounds like the oil pressure warning buzzer to me too. Check your oil pressure is ok before driving any further. Was the oil pressure warning light flashing on the dash? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackHeartValentine 0 Posted April 19, 2006 The Oil Presure Light was not on when this happend, the water temp light was not on either, oil temp was 202 and water temp was around 170 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gaz the geezer 0 Posted April 19, 2006 that sounds fecking high fella ( oil and water ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackHeartValentine 0 Posted April 19, 2006 Ferenheight not celcius, the water temp gauge on my car starts at 130 next number on it is 230...the oil temp reading I get is from the MFA...Does that sound high? :( Also, It didn't do it again after it stopped, I drove another 23 miles after that and everything seemed fine, I know my coolant level is a bit low right now too though. And my oil light has come on before but it made a beeping noise this was a screaching noise like when you let the air out of a ballon while pinching the sides to make it looud hahaha, know what I'm saying.

BlackHeartValentine 0 Posted April 19, 2006 Correction, My water temp Gauge starts at 160 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corradophil 3 Posted April 20, 2006 My water temp usually sits around 90 degC, and oil at 106 degC. I would want to confirm the oil pressure is ok if it was my car. Other than the oil pressure warning buzzer I cannot think of anything else which would make a loud noise behind the instruments. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted April 20, 2006 Water temp should sit bang in the middle of the guage most of the time - thats how they are calibrated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackHeartValentine 0 Posted April 20, 2006 Yeah, that's where mine sits, smack dab in the middle inbetween 160 and 230 on the middle marker...funny thing is, the sound only comes on if I turn on my rear defrost button! It never comes on otherwise...phantom buzzer!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corradophil 3 Posted April 20, 2006 funny thing is, the sound only comes on if I turn on my rear defrost button! It never comes on otherwise...phantom buzzer!! I missed that in the 1st post! Got to be a wiring issue then, a poor connection, maybe an earth? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
