Door buzzer stuck
Got home, turned off my truck, took out my keys and opend the door. The buzer came on! Checked everything... Lights off, keys out, everything is off. The door buzzer will just keep going as long as my door is open. Any ideas what happend? the other day I put a little wd40 in my locks (including ignition) to keep them working smoothly and not frozen. Nothing else has changed.

What a horrible noise, I think I would simply set fire to my 4Runner is that happened. I feel for you. By the way, where is the that buzzer, it has a date with a sledge hammer when I do find it.

The buzzer is the little grey doohicky thats right above the fuse panel on the drivers side kick panel.
You can feel it vibrate if its on. And yes that is one anoying sound! But I like it since I have almost forgotten my keys a few times.

Sorry for reviving an old thread but I am having the same problem as the OP! The buzzer stays on with the door open and key out, and I cannot fix it. It is driving me crazy trying to leave the door open and work on other things in my truck.
I don't know if it is a contact in the ignition switch that has gone bad that tells when the key is out or what. I am stumped! does anyone have any other ideas or has had the same problem.

i have been told that you can take the buzzer apart ,and clip a contact in it. this sould kill the buzzer but leave the dome light working. i haven't got to try it yet on my truck.

The same thing happened in my truck about a month back. I was having trouble with my starter contacts so every time I started the truck I had to turn the key about 20 times. Eventually the buzzer started staying on. I just put the key in and jiggled it around in there. This ended up fixing the problem and only took 2 seconds. Worth a try before you start cutting wires and removing things.

Also with the door open and the key out my doors will not lock leaving me to believe that the contact is stuck in the ignition switch...
Any other guesses?
Will this fix me not being able to lock my doors from the drivers side?

Ok for whoever has the same problem next I have narrowed this down to the small switch screwed to the bottom of the ignition. The fsm called it the key confine prevention switch.

I sweat mine was like that when I bought it, but no more. I can lock my door and shut it and it will stay locked.

He is saying Toyota's with electric locks automatically unlock the doors when the it senses the key in the ignition to avoid locking the key in the truck.

I'd start with the Key Unlock Warning Switch. http://web.archive.org/web/201102052.../3ignition.pdf
