Turn off the open door beeper

I find it annoying when I am trying to work on my car, or show off the sound system in my car with the front driver door open, and the key is in the ignition and turned to provide power to the radio, but the open door beeper messes up the sound and it gets annoying right? Hopefully I'm not the only one right? Anyway to get rid of that beeping without having to remove the metal face plate under the steering wheel:


Step 1: Find the small brown box peeking out from the top of a steel plate just above the brake pedal.

Step 2: Find the white plug attached to the brown box (if you are still worried about if it's the right one, just feel it while it's beeping and you can feel the speaker vibrate), reach on top of the white plug for a snap lock and push it down to unlock the plug and pull it out, the beeping will stop.

It does not hurt your car in any way, the computer still thinks it's beeping so its safe.

or you can leave the key on "on" and open the door and it wont keep making the sound.....

Wil this remove all of the beeping that the car makes, such as the seat belts?

If you leave the ignition on, not on accessory mode, on like after starting the car, there wont be any beeping when the doors are open, you will only get the regular 5 beeps like you always get when you start it, no beeps after

I'm talking about the nonstop beeping you get when the key is in the ignition and turned to the 1st stop, that powers the radio and lights but not the A/C which is the 2nd stop.

The 1st stop (I don't know the names) beeps nonstop because it's the car's way of telling you "Hey don't forget the key!"

well then leave it in the 2nd position like i said, it doesnt use any extra power....why make the extra effort to disconnect a hard to reach connecter when you can put the key on "on"??

Cause I hate that beeping all together.

uh my car doesnt have a beeping noise for seat belts

JUST the topic I was looking for! :D I have the opposite problem- my buzzer stopped working! What do I do to get it working again? Is it one of those little "metal" modules in the fuse box that buzzes or just this brown box under the dash that buzzes? Thanks.

Haha, mine quit beeping as well. Though, I don't mind because I find it annoying anyway.

but doesn't that stop the beeping if you forget to turn off your headlights?

wat do the 5 beeps mean anyways?

"put on your seatbelt"

if its not beeping at all its prob a fuse

there's no Beep for when my lights are on, usually the Battery Saver cuts the lights off in my car when I remove the Key from the Ignition.

Got an easier way for you. Just unplug the pressure switch that compresses when the door is closed. No more door ajar beep for this guy.

So scratch that idea. Your interior lights won't turn off when you open the door. Haha. Guess and check.

I'd be too likely to forget the key. I will live with mine.

Where about is this switch?

Its in the door jam. When you open your driver's door you'll see it right there. Bypassing this switch should turn off your beeper, but it'll also stop your dome light from activating automatically.

Thanks. Never have dome lights on auto anyway. Strangely never had them on any cars on auto.Think I must of run batteries flat sometime in my youth.....

Wonder what the star shaped black plastic plug is on the edge of the door is ?

I just took some photos around and above the brake pedal but cannot see the little brown box mentioned on a YT video. They say just pull off the white power plug. Find it strange that a box with biggish power connector can just be for a buzzer?

How about the red door ajar light on the dash? Won't that be always on now?
