so i was in my car last night putting in a new fog light switch and when i dropped the panel that would be right above your knees as you're driving, i noticed there was little discolored yellow block or box with some kind of little circular window on it. i also noticed that it was not connected to anything and there was a plug that fit into it hangin there not plugged into anything. i remember when i was in there last it wasnt connected so i lefy it disconnected. this time i plugged it back in. i was just wondering what it is and what it does. this is probably a stupid thing, but i want to make sure.

this is a wide shot of the block and the plug

this is a closer shot of it

 

that is the door buzzer for when your door is open with the lights on, or the key in ignition.

 

It is a bomb ... quickly throw your car off the nearest cliff. Ok that wasn't even funny.

I have no clue what that is.

 

i think ur actually right...

 

Hey was wondering the same thing this weekend! I hate that buzzer thing when I am working on my car and have to leave the doors open with the key in the ignition.... May just have to rip it out...

 

thanks sdoherty_tjm. i was wondering why my ding was gone. i thought they cut something when they installed my alarm. is there a way to only make it ding when the lights are on and not when the key is in the ign?

 

We have a winner. This is the correct answer.

 

i dont think so, but it was probably unhooked because when they take that thing off, you need to unhook it or it will hang there and be a nuisence

 

Took 'em a little while. I remember that I wanted to put a different buzzer or something from a different car. But I never got around to it. It's hard to find one that sounds good.

 

Don't rip it out.. put a little toggle switch.. might save your battery one day

 

Air horns will definitly get your attention. lol

 

Good point, but I am really lazy.....

 

door buzzer!!!!!! duh

 

find a toy that plays la cucaracha and wire the power from the dinger to the toy, and then it plays la cucaracha when you leave your lights on. im gonna do that one someday

 

what? why would I want air horns going off when my lights are on? do you know what part they are talking about? it is tihe little dinger, not the horn.
