Re: S3 electrical bits
This is the oscillator. Mounted in the engine bay, in front of the battery close to the headlamp. According to rx7.com, this is the source of my incessant buzzer and replacing it is the best option.
Some say that you can simply remove it and run without. Will do some tests to see if this is true by draining oil / coolant and seeing if I still get warning lights with the oscillator out of the loop.
Unplugged the thing and buzzer stopped. I think this thing controls the buzzers and beeps associated with warning lights ie low water and headlamp on warning. That's my best guess as the wiring diagrams are inconclusive.



Anyways. does anyone have one what I could use? And I suppose I should clean the pins up and reconnect it just in case it's that simple??

Re: S3 electrical bits

Re: S3 electrical bits
Well, the cleaning option has not worked.. give me a heads up if you find one in amongst your bits and bobs Ian.
