Ignition switch "warning" ? (What is it?)



Can somebody tell me what the heck the "warning" is? Horn, perhaps?

if your talking about that rediculous buzzer near the driver side seatbelt, i hope everyone on the planet has. that noise is stupid annoying and you can think of removing that thing as weight reduction! ^_^

those two connectors (pictured) come out of the back of your ignition switch (key)

The buzzer itself sits under the trim, about lower-rib height (sitting) on the left side of the car behind the door.

That was my solution, too. The only problem I have now is it's easy to leave the running lights on.
I seem to recall the car being smart and cutting the lights when you opened the door if the car was off, but now it doesn't seem to.

Seeing as how the buzzer had like 8+ wires going into it, I'm thinking that may be related.

It is. I opted to leave the buzzer as is and so my lights do turn off when the doors open if I leave the lights on with ignition off .... Also I do not accidentally lock/leave my keys in the car. One less thing to remember. Do I like the noise? No but it is a bit nostalgic in a pleasantly irritating kind of way.... more irritating is leaving lights on or locking my keys in the car.

Then you disabled it the right way... most people hack it out not knowing all those wires serve more than one function.

not really. honest to god, i pulled one wire and it went out. lucky guess. what are the odds of that?

ill tell you what the odds of that are. its a 12.50:1 chance of picking the wrong one.

im really goofy right now. excuse me while i go ramble in more threads
