Bad fuse?

Hey guys, first I gotta say some might find this abit funny.

My Buzzer doesn't work anymore and I want it to work!

The Buzzer it's self still works, but the only way I can get it to buzz is having the drivers door open and put the light on inside the cab. Use to work in the key on position during the "WTS" light time. And by having the drivers door open. What can be the problem? I really want it to work again!

Thanks!

1990 F250 diesel

I think it is supposed to work when the lights are on and the door is opened ignition off. The other time is key in ignition turned off and door is opened.........IIRC

Mine has never worked during the WTS sequence..........but I have my door closed.

Mine use to work while the WTS light was on with the door closed, or when the keys are in the ignition (running or not) when the drivers door is open. Now theres nothing!

No, it still does work, but only if I open the door (keys in ignition) and put the cab light on.

Try opening the glove box and then shutting it.

Mine works if I jar the dash when it should be buzzing.

Soon that buzzer will be moving to the trash can.

Not sure where it is on the 90 model, on my 86 it is above the glove box.
I hate mine, so I never check to see why it does not come on unless the dash gets bumped, but I am guessing dirty contacts in the connector.
