This article will explain how to disable the interior door buzzer that sounds when your door is open with the key on.
Tools needed:
- Pliers
- Phillips screwdriver
- Metric socket set
First, remove the screws located above the guages as seen here.
Pull the kick panel towards you to uncover the bolt. Remove the bolt and pull the plastic piece out just a little to make it easier to remove the dash piece above it.
Gently, but firmly pull the dash piece that surrounds the guages towards you until it pops out.
You may find it easier to move it out of the way if you remove the clips on the back first.
Next, remove the 4 screws that hold the guages in place.
Pull the guage towards you and unplug the 2 wiring harnesses on the top of it.
Pull the guage cluster out and turn it over. Remove the 3 screws in the back of it.
It will look like this with the cover removed. The buzzer is circled in the photo.
I used a pair of pliers and gently turned the round buzzer until it broke off. I have also been told (by user amber00dak) that you can run a bead of 100% silicone around the bottom of the buzzer and some in the hole on the top. It will still make noise, but with the radio on you can't hear it.
Finally, the annoying buzzer is gone. Put all pieces back and you are ready to leave the door open and enjoy your music.
