Issues with 84 35FC

[Ralph L. Fullenwider]

Hi Larry:

Your engine alarm light intermittent is usually caused by the temp sensor
wire at the top of the radiator being broken or bad connector to ground.
There is a major stress point on the wiring harness that goes through the
frame on the drivers side. This is a common problem. The buzzer, depending
on which system it is for could be the sensor, or ground, I would bet on
the ground. It stops buzzing with the meter because your adding a
resistance through the meter and supplying a floating ground, so to speak
with the added resistance. On Bird's, when things are going haywire with
systems, one checks the grounds, then when nothing is found, one checks
grounds, then you repair it by fixing the ground.

Safe travels,
