Turn off the open door beeper

[g0ast]

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.

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.

Where about is this switch?

Where about is this switch?

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

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

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.

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?

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 ?
