Andy135 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 In an attempt to identify an annoying tizz that occurs at 2500rpm I was feeling around behind the dash for anything rubbing against the back of it when this little chap drops out from the wiring loom, roughly above the transmission tunnel.According to Google he's a 12v buzzer, but I have no idea what his job is. The wiring diagram shows a buzzer in the vicinity of the starter button that could also be connected to the oil pressure switch and the indicators. So is he a combined low oil pressure and turn signal buzzer?Clearly I need to buy a replacement as his legs appear to have broken off, but can anyone send me a picture of their buzzer in situ, so that I know which part of the loom to take apart to re-solder a new one into please?

Andy135 Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 #2, Sigma Superlight 150, left and right indicator telltales on the tacho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevehS3 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 It looks very much like the indicator buzzer. They are very often covered up or removed as the sound is annoying. If yours didn't have a loud sound (like a piece buzzer sound - not a click) with an indicator on, perhaps a previous owner has clipped the wires? it is located roughly behind the tacho.

Andy135 Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 Thanks. Having read the archives I think I'll save myself some backache and not bother to re-fit it. It's not worked during my ownership and on the basis that you don't miss what you've never had... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted April 25, 2023 Area Representative Share Posted April 25, 2023 I don't think I can hear the buzzer on my car. It might be missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted April 25, 2023 Area Representative Share Posted April 25, 2023 I suppose 1996 counts as old these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
