I've had similar issues with the oil pressure buzzer due to a bad ribbon
cable connection to the instrument cluster.  You can reach up under the
dash, on the passenger side of the steering column, and reach the
connector.  If you continue to have issues, make sure the connector is
tight, and you might want to wiggle it a bit (carefully) to seat the
contacts.
