It's been awhile now, But from what I can remember either general warning #1 or 2 is tied into the stern drive oil reservoir bottle and I believe the other number is tied into the "transmission" oil level or heat on a MIE (Inboard Engine).

All the senders complete their circuit to the alarm system by closing to ground. Remove each one individually with the engine running at temperature and alarming, see which on stops the alarm. There is an oil pressure and water temperature sender for both the alarm and the guage, be sure you are pulling the correct wire. If the guage goes to zero you have the wrong one. The drive resovoir bottle has a float in it that is common for sticking down at the bottom and alarming. Good luck
