Re: No Engine Temperature
 
Good news: The high-temp/low-oil-pressure buzzer is fine. It had been disconnected.

Next question: Did I re-connect it properly?

I was tracing-out why it wasn't working and, as I traced a purple wire, which I assumed supplied 12VDC to the module when the ignition was turned on, I found the end of it was hanging in the breeze! Now... where to connect that bugger? It was a combined Faston receptacle and tab. There was a purple wire on the lanyard switch. So I pulled the purple wire off the switch, plugged the alarm's purple wire onto the switch, and the purple wire that had been on the switch onto the tab of that one.

Is there a delay built into these alarms? Because when I turn the key on, it takes five seconds or so for it to sound.

Where, btw, might I find the low oil pressure alarm sender?

Thanks,
Jim

Yes, it turns out that the '94 and older engines (carbed) have a delay timer circuit built onto the buzzer. Manual says between 7 -14 seconds for the delay. The newer ones like what ShabahZ250 has doesn't have a delay, just a straight buzzer.

Sorry, haven't figured out this one yet... :confused:
