Tried that, too.....grounding the brown temp sensor wires sets off a solid,
continuous alarm. I'm of the opinion that it has something to do with that
module with all the wires that's on top of the engine (under the flywheel).
No idea what it's for, though. :-(

tank was full. There was a beeping alarm that would start about 120
seconds
after starting the engine (whether started cold or already warmed up
made no
difference, 120 seconds after starting the beeping begins). It was
thought this
might be related to the fuel guage showing empty all the time...

I put a new sending unit in the fuel tank and now the guage is reading
full, but
the beeping persists! :-(

We've already disconnected the brown wires from the temp sensors on the
side of
the engine and that has no effect whatsoever. snip

Just a far-out thought: perhaps the temp sensors are "fail-safe": they
ALARM
when disconnected and "ok" is when they're connected to ground. Try
shorting the
brown wire to ground?
