Seat Belt Buzzer or Door Buzzer...won't go off.

Post by shebuilt »

I have searched for about 2 hours and can't find specifics on my problem. Out of the blue while driving yesterday my buzzer came off and wouldn't go off. I yanked out trusty fuse and of course it is off, but what is the cause?

It won't stop when I push in the button inside door, won't stop with seat belt in...

what could it be? :?: :(

I can't help it. Your saying your buzzer came off,...I'm still laughing.

Seriously, when mine came off I found it very liberating.

I am so fond of those devices I've been known to buy a non running car and disable the buzzer before I get the car running. :twisted:

But onto yours. There are two wires coming out of the ignition which could be part of it, and or the door switch, and or the seat switch I think is also involved.

I hate those damned nanny devices. :evil:

Agreed, I think the only acceptable one is a headlight warning buzzer when the ignition is off .. something I miss from my last car. I wonder if any E12's came with those?

Ok I feel like an idiot guys...when I put #8 fuse back in the buzzer - whichever it is - won't go off. Can't push button in or connect seat belt NADA!

Why would this all of a sudden occur? I miss my interior lights and clock.
