I need a replacement door chime/buzzer module for my truck, I dont know where exactly its located or what it looks like, but if anyone knows where one might be located could you point me in that direction, b/c whatever that module is, it apparently got wet in the submersion that i described in a past thread..so now i have a constant chime going off, it gets quieter when i put my seatbelt on, but its almost always there no matter what...dont know what to do...

So far I've been able to find only the location of light reminder relay on my '93 service manual. It's located behind the radio. Hope this leads you somewhere.

I'd just follow the sound.

I think the module itself is behind or around the fuse panel at your feet on the drivers side. Personally, if I had to fix it, I'd just remove it, not go to the expense of replacing it.

Or, maybe you can just get a louder stereo.

Ive been wanting to rip mine out for quite some time...

i wouldnt fool with replacing except for the fact that im pretty sure its the same module that chimes or rings when you leave your keys in the ignition and when you leave your headlights on...and that has helped me a time or two from coming out to a dead battery...

I don't like the door chime as much as anyone else here, so I'm just going to duct tape the button down by the door hinge. I think I remember an article of it being on the back of the gauge cluster (could be completely wrong).

= no dome light

on my truck it was at the bottom of the dash console ontop of the trans tunnel.

on my 4runner its barried in the kickpannel and have yet been able to kill it (not for lack of trying)

I just unscrewed my driver side buzzer thingy. I think it was a bad idea because when i first started to do it, i left my lights on all the time, and it wouldnt buzz.

Dome lights can be turned on by the simple flick of a switch... Besides, my bulb is out on my front dome light so it makes no difference.

swissdrums....the buzzer thing you unscrewed...what did it look like, and where in the drivers side kick was it located, b/c i cant find it for the life of me

Swissdrums

yo daniel...
i will get pics as soon as i can, as in tomorrow...(saturday)

Ok, so i dont know if this is what your problem is. But here is how i disabled my door chime module.

First off, here is its location. In the door jam toward the bottom.


I then unscrewed the bolt surrounding the white button. The white button slide into the driver side kick panel. I will retrieve it later...


Remove the kick panel panle and find the door chime module wire.


The wire will lead you to this little guy...All you have to do is unplug it, and for me, that is how i disabled it. No more rings and bings and chimes from the driver side anymore.


If you do this, your car dome lights will not come on when you open the door, the keys can be left in the ignition with the door open, and no sound will come out. The lights can be left on while the car is off and the door is open, so becareful not to leave them on.

Good Luck, i hope this is what you are looking for
