<VV> Spyder Temp-Press light diagnosis - update

[Doug Mackintosh]

Jim, I am the one with the problem, Frank just interjected based on what I had posted.
The answer is yes, I know the buzzer is present and working. I separated the connector where the dash wiring joins the 2 sensor wires in the lower right corner of the engine compartment, then I jumpered each side to ground (ignition on); when I jumpered the oil pressure switch side to ground it lit the light; when I jumpered the temperature switch side to ground it lit the light and made the buzzer buzz. 
So that is why I know it is on the oil pressure switch side.

Do you know that the buzzer itself is present and working?  Have you
actually heard it?  If not, it could be sending you down a wrong path.  The
next thing I would try is pulling the wire off the temperature sender and
grounding it.  The buzzer should sound off.  If it doesn't, a bad
temperature sender is back at the top of the suspect list.
