chime and buzzer
« on: July 05 2014, 03:03:31 PM »
Is there a fuse that I can pull that will disable the chime when you put the key in but not start it and also the seat beltbuzzer/light. My chime is bad and the buzzer sticks on. Thanks!!!

Reach under the dash and start squeezing boxes until the buzzer changes tone.  You know it when you find the offending device. It'll sound like it has a cold.


I would tell you where it's at, but the VERY first mod I did in my GN was to yank that stupid thing out.   I have no idea where I found it.   I wanna say left of the steering column :)

Looking at the dash from the drivers seat,  it is just to the right of tach/boost gauges. Batch toeat get to... Not so bad if you take the seat out and lay on your back

Can you go through the instrument panel to get to it? Also lately when I start the car, 40% of the time my knock alarm will go off for a second or 2???

I went from under/behind the dash....

The knock alarm is hearing the starter drive hit the flex plate

Is the starter drive hitting something I can adjust and correct? Sorry, probably a stupid question :icon_redface:

So I fought that chime box out. Can you just remove that box and everything else is good to go? Seems like something  with seven electrical tabs going to would be needed? Dont want to start car if I need to do something in box and reconnect it.  Thanks!!!

I've never figured out why GM needed a buzzer with 30 wires running to it.  One would think two would do it.


Ditching that thing is the first mod I do to all my cars.
