Dennis,

My '91 Vanagon had a buzzer/oil light problem for the past three summers when driven on the interstate and even in town.

I did everything mentioned on the mailing list, I think. Then figured I would try changing the ground strap from the engine to the frame. I worked. 800 miles with a trailer in August in Iowa and Minnesota and not a peep from the oil signaling system and nothing since.

Good luck.

Herb
