<VV> Warning Buzzer Diode- where is it?

AFAIK, the diode is in the under dash harness. Probably near the buzzer.

But, if the buzzer sounds when the key is turned on, it could be a 
simple fix, like I had on my Spyder. I put up with that annoying buzzer 
for several years until I studied the wiring diagram, figured out how 
the diode worked and then just swapped the oil pressure and heat snap 
switch leads. Yep, the previous owner had them hooked up wrong. Since 
they are both that fabric covered wire, it is easy to plug them into the 
engine harness (at the rear body panel) incorrectly.
