I have a buzzing sound coming

I have a buzzing sound coming from my OMC controller and I can not figure out what it is. I have an Evinrude 150 XP. Does anyone know how to fix this

"(VRO Horn Warnings)
(J. Reeves)

NOTE: I retired around 1991/92. Possibly some of the later V4 engines and others may also incorporate a fuel vacuum switch that would enable a fuel restriction warning to sound as mentioned below, an unknown factor to myself.

1 - A steady constant beep = Overheating - The V/6 engines, possibly some others, have a fuel restriction warning which is also a steady constant beep.

2 - A beep every 20 or 40 seconds = oil level has dropped to 1/4 tank. (Late model engine = Every 40 seconds)

3 - A beep every other second = VRO failure, air leak in oil line, oil restriction, (anything that would result in a lack of oil being supplied to the engine).

NOTE - If the warning horn is the black plastic (overpriced) three wire type horn, the warning horn should beep once when the ignition key is turned to the ON position. If it does not, it is either faulty or someone has disconnected it (a stupid move!). At any rate, if it does not beep which indicates that the horn is non functional, find out why and do not run the engine until the problem is corrected.

Thousands of parts in my remaining stock. Not able to list them all. Let me know what you need and I'll look it up for you. Visit my eBay store at:

"a buzzing sound,..is usually,the first 'key on' tone,..trying to activate,via a bad horn....repl that horn."
 
"It comes on as soon as I turn

"It comes on as soon as I turn the key and stays on even while the motor is running. I checked the oil level and it is fine. How can I fix if it is an overheating problem? The motor runs fine. I went to a lake that was quite weedy and did get some wrapped around the ports that suck up the water. The buzzing happened shortly after, like the next time I took it out."

"With horn sounding, remove TA

"With horn sounding, remove TAN wire form horn. If horn continues to sound after removing that wire, replace the horn."
 
Mildly off topic here - I have

Mildly off topic here - I have a 76 Johnson 115 hp. I've been all over this thing and inside the control box. Does this engine have a buzzer to indicate an overheating condition? I'd sure feel better if it did. I only get a slight sputter of water out of two 1/2" ports on the rear of the motor.
