Subject:Re: Ignition Key Warning Buzzer

There is a little black button-like switch in the driver's door jam that
operates both.  If you take a pen or screwdriver, you can push it in and
then up or to either side  a little so that it is jamed in the closed
position and thus neither the light nor the buzzer works when you open
the door since the button stays "in. " This is the easy way to do this.
Mine has stayed like this for 4 years without problems and you can make
it functional again if you want...just unjam it and it'
ll pop back out.
