Sheila,
I know what your talking about as I just spent an inordinate amount of time
under my dash. I believe that it is the Ignition key audible warning
buzzer. The wiring diagram indicates the correct color code for the wires.
I forgot that I had one. I disconnected mine shortly after I got it in 1972
so forgot all about a buzzer for the key and also for the open door. The
wiring diagram indicates a different color scheme for the door buzzer -
purple and purple/green.
I have come to suspect that the English hired on a number of the little
people from Ireland to hook up their switches and wires under the dash.
