Re: [DML] How does warning buzzer work

["Marty Galbreath" <marty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This discussion about the annoying "buzzer" prompted me to share my
solution. Under the driver's side dash above the steering column is a
plate that has the buzzer unit on it as well as the wiper module, etc.
I unplugged the plate and removed it from the car, desoldered the
buzzer and cut it out with a Dremel tool. I then replaced it with
Radio Shack #273-071 80dB Chime module. Re-installed the plate being
careful to get all the little clips that hold it in place reconnected,
and presto! - my car now has a pleasant "ding-dong" sound instead of
the annoying buzzer. 

The polarity of the chime unit is important and the red wire must
connect to the +12V side of the buzzer connection.

lights (headlight or door) have no affect on the buzzer.  The buzzer
only  makes a racket when the door is open (with it's own door
switch), or briefly when starting if the seat belt is not buckled.

help with anything after you shut the car off.  If you need a
headlight safety, you can buy a Battery Buddy automatic cutoff, or
Houston has a nice solution coming with the new headlight switch logic
box.  I'm not sure what the status is of the headlight switches now (I
haven't been paying much attention, 'cause I don't need one), but I
did see some parts at the open house that looked nice.
