Disable beeping for doors, lights, seatbelt, etc.

I'm sure some folks think this is a nuisance..and it can be. Especially if you want to leave your doors open for speakers or if you have heavy objects in the front seat.

Anyway, I was ripping out my guages, and there's a trace in there you can cut to disable the beeping. It's not too complex a process and you don't have to be an EE genius. While not difficult, taking the guages fully out is kind of a pain though...

Naturally this isn't something you'd want to do all the time, so I've installed a make-break SPST switch on teh panel under the driver dash.

Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera, so I don't have pictures of it...but if someone else is interested and could post pictures of the back of the PCB, I could direct which one to break and solder wires to. I'm sure there are a few you could do - but I pretty much just used a multimeter and "guessed" so as a disclaimer it could feasibly break some stuff when you have it disabled (though everything I've tested so far works just fine ).

If there's enough interest I could rip it apart again once I find a camera to use.

not having taken pictures of the setup sort of kills this DIY/HOWTO, it sounds like a good idea, but it just doesnt make sense when messing with the Gauges on the Fit.

unfortunately this gets rid of any and all beeping, and does not disable any other lights - those are hidden on the "inside" of the circuit board are are close to impossible to get at.

Put a switch on it, so you can disable it at will, and not permanently.

I also need to disable the 120kph speed beeper, which is driving me nuts!

Once I get the gauges out, how do I find the alarm beeper circuit?

I'll try post pics and hope you guys can help.

Thank you for sharing this eman. You gave me the motivation I needed to wire in a switch to the beeper circuit. I couldn't figure out where to cut into the circuit on the board. The board appears to be double sided which makes it more difficult. So I removed the speaker and refitted it with the necessary switch wiring.

In case anyone is interested, you can download a pdf I made that explains how to do it.

In the future I might t decide to put a resistor in series next to the switch to reduce the volume. (Not sure, maybe 5K or 10K should do it)

Kind regards
Chris

Or just wear your seatbelt. It's there for a reason. To annoy you until you put your seatbelt on. smh
