adrian

 

thanks 4 that adrian

 

Yeah Adrians on the money there.
As the barrel wears though u can get it to stop by wiggling the key (technical term ) Think downward stops it. It`s to remind u that u`ve left ur keys in the ignition when getting out the car.

failin that just disconnect the damn thing.

Was doing my head in (and Bob Rawle's) when we workin on the car so he kindlt unplugged it for me

 

Pete,

LOL u r the man, i`d 4got the "keep it simple" approach (duh > me)
Where is the sounder? Is the connector reachable from under the dash, if so can u remember what colour the cables were or what the connector looks like (2pin, 3pin etc)?

Cheers

Pete

 

yeah its easily reachable, just cant remember where Bob did it, even though he did show me at the time, it was about 18 months ago.

Might be worth a quick email to Bob to ask him

 

Cheers Pete,

I`ll have a quick butchers m8, if i can`t find it i`ll mail him

I've got a 95WRX and within a few weeks of having it I was really fed up with that buzzer. In the end I stopped it by cutting a wire. On the top of the ignition barrel there is a white wire (if think!) which is plugged onto the barrel. Some people have managed to unplug it, which is probably the best move, but as I couldn't get it off I just cut the wire. I have had no side effects from doing this and I know others have done it. Give it a go!
Sorry I can't be more specific, I did it a year ago and have a bad memory! It's a pity the search facility isn't working, this has been covered a couple of times before, with pictures!
