[Dog_Book]

Does anyone know how to stop the reverse warning buzzer and the buzzer thats comes on when you put the key in the ignition ???

thanks

Why would you want to?

I know this may be a silly question, but why would you want to stop any type of warning buzzer? Unless of coarse you reverse everywhere?

Because the reverse warning will interfeir with a proper reverse warning outside the truck and i do not need a buzzer coming on when i engage reverse. I also dont need a buzzer to come on when i put the kes in the ignition.....

too many buzzers....

On some models I believe there to be a jumper/switch behind the clock facia itself...cannot be certain of this as only remember a quick article somewhere.

I took mine off cos it was doing my head in!. It`s behind the instrument panel, a tiny little box about an inch long. I found the best way to locate it was to remove the dash and then stick it in reverse and let it beep until you can find it, it`s only held on by two screws and then its peace at last lol.

If you are planning to put engish tyre radio in (if yours doesnt already have one) then it`s good idea to do the beeper at the same time, saves taking the dash out twice.

Excelent..suppose is there cos its a auto so just warns you...very annoying though as i LOOK at the box to change into the correct mode anyway....

The reversing buzzer doesn't bother me so much as I also have a reversing sensor that gives different beeping tones to tell when I hit something. It's the you've left your keys in the ignition one that drives me round the bend, after all I've normally left the keys in the ignition because that is were I want them, especially if I'm packing up the trailer after the holiday, cause that way they don't get packed. I've actually started (car thefts please look away now) to hang them off the aerial.

My alarm automatically locks the car doors 30 seconds after closing the doors so the ringer is essential to remind me to take the keys out.
