Ignition Buzzer Q

The ignition buzzer for my 92 buzzes when I open the door even when the key is out. I have to jiggle it to make it stop. The ignition cylinder is new. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I have the same issue with a 96 Taurus. If if is fixable, is it the same in the Taurus.

My 93 also does this but not all the time. I feel your pain, it is annoying as hell!

I *think* the buzzer is just a black box underneath the heater controls in the dash. Most people just disconnect them completely.

I stumbled on it this weekend when I was tracing wiring. The PO unhooked it and then just left it hanging, tied to a piece of wire.

What turns the thing on though? There has to be some sort of switch somewhere.

Got the same issue on a 96 T-Bird, its the ring/gear that unlocks the column when you turn the ign. with the key in it, it is partially stripped and is making ground contact to turn the buzzer on when it should not, soon as I fix mine I will know more and share.
