turn off beeping

ryanmetz · 06-23-2003

i want to get my car so when the door is open and the key is in that it doesnt beep. in my friends '93 dakota there is just a little peice that you had to unplug and take off and it stopped, im wondering if it is the same on a 1998 v6.
thank you for any help you can give me

There should be a ring under the dash somewhere. Unplug it and it wll stop working.

Or take the key out

i got it!!!
when you look under the drivers side dash look as far to the center of the car as possible, you will see a bunch of wires going into a white plug, all you have to do is unplug it, i used a key to pry up the prong but a screw driver would work better, if you cant find it put your keyes in your car and open the door and look, you will find it real fast, it only took me like a minute to find it and un hook it

ps use a light, it helps

is this a big white huge plug? Or a ring?

ryanmetz · 07-01-2003

it is the big white plug that i unplugged and everything still works, and there is no beeping (thank the lord)

Hrm... I bought a 1998 Mustang GT and I'd LIKE to have the beeping back if I leave my lights on and turn off the car or at least when I open the door... I've forgotten to turn them off on a few occassions & it's been enough to kill my battery :>. Would this plug have any sort of effect on this? Thanks!

yeah just look under your dash by the radio and you will see a big white plug. make sure its connected, if not oyu might have a short in a wire or something.

I wanted to do the same thing with my truck when I leave the doors open to listen to the radio. The sensor for most ford vehicles these days is in the latch. (not sure about stangs) but the way i usually do it is to just use my key to latch the door and un do it before i close the door. It stops the annoying beeping so i can listen to the stereo. just my .02.

If you can take out the lock cylinder there is a metal tab on it. Remove the tab and viola no more bell .
