Duke7184, your buzzer model is WI1-05. Its one input and 3 output (negative as return) via 3 diodes. If the other two alarm works, then its probable the 3rd diode is faulty. You could wire two diodes to one of the working output thus making it as 2 circuit. That should solve your problem. When activated, the positive passes through the buzzer diode, then through to 1 of the new diodes to say Oil Pressure switch or Sail Drive Unit switch then to ground (negative). The buzzer maybe just alittle softer as there'll be 1.2V drop across the series diodes but I guess it won't affect much. The Hitachi buzzer doesn't come cheap.
