Disable door chimes

[ryztriumph]

They seriously need to be gone!!! I like my interior lights too so I don't wanna just take out the switch.

Haha I hate that sound too. I just rigged the push button on the door to stay close and rewired the lights to contant power source from ignition.

Heh, I have no chime but the lights work.

Humm of all the 2gs (7 infact) I have owned not a one had/has door chimes. I want to do the opposite and get mine working now. Locked my keys in the car to darn much b/c of no buzzer. Too used to the 07 Camry that I do not have to pull the keys out of my pocket. And the 06 Ram has the buzzer so I rarely lock my keys in that.

Are you talking about the ignition key reminder, or the lights on reminder, or seat belt reminder?

 

[ryztriumph]

I want the ignition chime gone. It beeps even when the keys aren't in it. Its so annoying. I didn't even know there was a seatbelt chime. I always wear that. I think i'm a good driver but that doesn't mean everyone else is!

if it's a module type thing, crack it open and cut one lead from the speaker...that'll shut it up.

Or, if you unlug it and it doesn't affect anything, find a trash can for it..

 

[ryztriumph]

Where is it actually at? I stuck my head up under the dash but couldn't actually pinpoint the beeps.

Remove the lower steering wheel cover and locate the 7 pin connector that runs the key reminder switch and key hole light. Connect a wire between the green/yellow wire and the black (these go to the key reminder switch) or jumper the switch if possible.

Is it possible to just entirely remove the thing that makes the damned annoying sound? I know my key is in, I put it there, and I know my damn lights are on I can see, I seriously just want my car to stfu.

If so where is the speaker/noise making unit? I don't wanna by pass it, I just want to rip it out and set it on fire.

 

[luv2rallye]

It's on the ETACS-ECU circuit board which you need for other functions.

 

[dot45]

Should be possible to just put a piece of tape over the pinhole for the speaker, that would shut it up, since the speaker would not be able to move any air to create sound.

 

[ryztriumph]

I'll see if I can find the connector under the steering column. As much as I would love to rip out the beeping box and blow it to smithereens, I think I need the ecu...

 

[luv2rallye]

Yes the ETACS-ECU runs dozens of things so you must have it. Note when you jumper those 2 wires you still have to leave the connector plugged in for other stuff (can unplug it to jumper the wires though).

 

[Boostinsideways]

Damn. I think I will just leave my door switch unplugged then.

 

[luv2rallye]

Well actually you might get away with just unplugging it (although you still have to jumper those 2 wires). I know it also runs the key light but I'm not sure what else - try it and see.

..What I did to our KIA .. opened up the modular box and snipped the one lead running to the speaker since I knew that the box ran other functions..

Also did it to my dad's Chev P.U. .. snipped the speaker lead.. he hates that annoying "hey dumbass!' you left your key in the ignition, strap on the seatbelts, headlights on! .. BS" reminder noise ... reminds him of a nagging wife....

 

[luv2rallye]

On the 2g dsm the speaker is soldered onto the ETACS-ECU board so you would have to unsolder it. I think it would be easier to just unplug that connector.

hey i am in the opposite situation. i keep leaving my lights on because they also run my narrowband. i haven't gotten around to changing the power source for it yet and my lights on reminder i think is disabled. where is the lights on reminder switch or control box that i can enable it again?

 

[luv2rallye]

You realize this thread is over 17 months old.
If you're talking about the headlights on reminder, it is controlled by the the left door switch which is probably your problem (not making a good ground there when door is open).

 

[auker1]

yeah i realize its old. but thanks for the info

 

[ryztriumph]

I never did disable the chime. I just learned to live with it. On your question, do your interior lights come on when you open the door? Your switch might be bad.

 

[auker1]

yeah i looked at it tonight and the switch is just in there. the screw to hold it in is missing. also i read something about if the connector on the back of it has a blue mark it is supposed to be on the passenger side. is this true?

 

[luv2rallye]

Never heard anything about a blue mark but the screw provides the ground connection so it must be in there.

 

[MiroDSM]

If it has a blue plastic then that's the switch for the passenger side. Go to the junkyard and take one off the drivers side. I had a passenger switch and my buzzer wouldn't work and also the key ring light wouldn't work. Switched to the correct one and all works now
