Don't do it that way or you will have NO oil pressure warning light at all. Yes, unplugging the board as Chris suggest will stop the buzzing but it is important to have a working oil warning light. There is an easy way to keep the oil warning system working and make it compatible with the 1.9 wiring. On the back of the speedo is a small connector that plugs into the oil warning circuit board that lives inside the speedo case. Unplug it temporarily and bend the outside end pin of the the group of 4 pins over to the side. Then plug the connector back in place while making sure it misses the bent aside pin.
