The electric (cooling) fan is for the a/c. The sensor that runs it is on the waterpump neck. I think the temp it comes on is quite high. I know that when the sensor is disconnected, the fan runs, but I'm not sure about the warning light.



I thought the buzzer was only for the add coolant. I've always had good luck with my cooling system and have never had to deal with warning lights going off.



Best of luck.

Cheers!

I'm quite sure that the buzzer is just to let you know when to add coolant. 3 days after I bought my '87 TII it started doing the exact same thing. I checked everything and even took it to a mechanic... Long story short, I tore the buzzer out from behind the gauge cluster to keep my sanity, and bought a new battery and alternator. The lights even went off after I installed those things. Dont know what the real source of the problem was (possibly the alternator) but I dont have any problems anymore.

You can get a Walbro 255lph fuel pump for about $95 shipped for everything you will need. You can get them at about any performance shop or on Ebay. But I dont know if your car has a problem or if it is just retarded like mine. I dont know which one is better.

I found a guy online whos selling me a fuel pump out of a 3erd gen rx-7 for cheap and said it will fit and is as good as a walbro but for like 40 bucks i cant complane to much. Im just hoping it will fit and work ok. and possably turn that dam light off.
