buzzer

I have a 1990 f-150 5 speed 4.9L. I can't stand that buzzer when you leave the door open with the keys in. I tried to pull the fuse, but it's also connected to the radio,glovebox light,etc.... I was wondering if anyone knows how to get at the buzzer it's self to unwire it.

fuse possibly if that doesn't work. check what else the fuse does though. If it does anything essential, obviously do not pull that fuse.

Bodo,

I posted a thread on finding that "chime" awhile ago - see if this helps:

What I did was unscrewed the button on the driver's side door and clipped one wire. There were three. One controls the internal light, one is ground, and the other controls the buzzer. You can short the terminals and figure out which is which. It also disables the headlight buzzer, though. Which can come in handy sometimes.

There's a way to disable it through the ignition key, but I don't know what it is.
