As soon as I turn the key to 'run' the alarm sounds a continuous solid beep. This should be the alarm for the overheat sensor I presume but the motor is not overheating. Temp gauge is normal, water stream is coming out of the '**** hole', and the oil injection is functioning properly. I disconnected the temp sensor on the port side of the motor and the problem did not go away. Need some help troubleshooting this.

Thanks!

Alright, i went ahead and replaced the sensor on the starboard side. Still getting a beep though. Where the 3 (tan with blue stripe) wires meet on the starboard side, if I disconnect one of the other two wires the beep stops. What else could it be?

Thanks for your help

have you followed the wire you disconnected that stops the beeping to see where it leads to or look up what it functions?

from what ive read... a steady beep is either temp sensor, Alarm module and or alarm horn.
