Door-open switch wiring? key-in buzzer wiring?
Hello all,
I've got a 1996 Civic Hatchback DX. I'm irritated by the buzzer that dings when the key is in and the door is open. I wish to disable the buzzer. It may be that the simplest way to do this is to short-circuit the door-open switch so that it is permanently 'closed'. Can anyone tell me which wires I need to deal with, or should I just remove the door-frame paneling and access the switch directly? Alternatively, is there another/better way to disable this buzzer? Thanks for your help. John |
