did they really move it back there on the newer ones??? good god, all that crap is already out for my audio install... that woulda been easy as hell.... oh well... I got mine out, just trying to figure out how to wire it all.

Has anyone suggested putting the starter back in??

[Johnybeas]

do I really have to pull it all out or can I just pull off the little ring and the plastic thing that covers the steering column?? here's a pic of what I can get to where I am...

see attachment. sorry for the focus being too far...

Cut the black wire on the plug. I'm 99% positive thats the one I cut.

[Johnybeas]

if it kills my car... I'll roadtrip n kick ur ass! :P if not and it kills the beep... you'll be my favorite person in the world...

[redlightningsvx]

Worst case you can solder it back together.

[Johnybeas]

lol trudat

[redlightningsvx]

Did it work?

[Johnybeas]

lol I totally spaced coming back and letting you know, yes, that was the wire. It totally made me way happy, she started and she never beeped again!

[redlightningsvx]

Good, I was getting worried that is was the wrong wire.

[Johnybeas]

hahaha no, it's all good, just been crazy busy haven't been as frequent on the forums as I was all summer. My girlfriend still makes fun of me. I woke up today and it's the first thing I did.

I solved this issue the "easy" way!!
1. attempt to remove blower motor *
2. realize blower motor won't come out until glove box is removed
3. remove glove box 99% , all screws out, but have right "strap" keep whole unit from being removed
4. some time later notice a "clip" to push in to slide "strap" off of "door"
5. remove complete glove box
6. with door open and key in, try to figure out where the BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP beep beep beep beep BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP beep beep beep beep BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP beep beep beep beep BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP beep beep beep beep BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP beep beep beep beep BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP beep beep beep beep comes from
7. after hearing the sound long enough, you realize the sound has two different "tones" and can't take it any more, thus time for another "COKE" break
8. after locating the box, figure out how to remove it
9. after removing the box, open it by popping off the end cap
10. after popping off the end cap, pull out the circuit board.
11. take time to admire the craftsmanship of this precision electronic device and notice how the noise emitter is just sitting there
12. PRY gently to remove the tone generator and save for future re-installation

reassemble %

* now is a good time to disassemble, clean, lubricate, reassemble blower motor, which is how this project got started, because it had a slight noise

% I have yet to put back glove box #

# pending remote start install

Wrap the 'dinger' box with insulated tape, cut to fit, wrap it good...and the 'ding' will be hard to hear on a quiet night, better than cutting anything..
