Hey im getting a 87 base FC on the 7th and there is 2 problems with it



1-a buzzer is always going off (im not the one that looked at the car so im not sure what kinda buzzer it is)



2-also something is draining the battery you need to boost it to start it but once started it runs fine (could be dead battery im not sure)





thnx

Buzzer=bad.. could be low oil or coolant, neither of which is a good thing. What other kind of shape is the car in? The condition of the hoses, rad, and the color of the oil on the dipstick? Dont get suckered in like me. A cheap car isnt cheap anymore when you spend 5(!) times what you paid for it just keeping it on the road...

The coolant sensor wire on top of the radiator is very weak and becomes brittle with age, then braking off. When this happens, the buzzer starts going crazy after a minute of so of driving..when you look at the car, check the wire going to the top of the radiator..if it's broke, there's the problem..if not..it probably really is low on coolant or oil..
