That step #24 works as intended to disable the false buzzer but Jim
added an error way back when he put that info together. The pin that
gets bent aside is not a ground pin. It is the tach signal pin. Without
the tach signal the oil pressure board ignores the high rpm pressure
switch and only uses the primary pressure switch.
