I simply pulled the plastic from under the steering wheel, unplugged the wire from the key switch*, and reinstalled the plastic. No more 'key-in-ignition' buzzer, besides the push the pin in didn't work for me.

* the harness has 2 wires, and will come out straight down. As soon as you remove the lower plastic shield, you will see the wire/harness.

At least on the '01 you can take the cover off the steering column and unplug the two-wire harness on the ignition (lt. blue wires). That kills the key-in-ignition warning, but keeps the all the other chimes. Worked for me...just gotta get the column cover off

I got very annoyed by the dinger too and located the miserable thing one saturday afternoon and filled the speaker up with good ol silicone glue. Now it is a good dinger . If I listen real close I can still hear it after I shut it down.

Hemi cat that is exactly what I did excipt that I used Sika Flex. Don't know why anyone would want a door noise maker anyway. Have to be daft not to notice that the door is open.Maybe there are the ones that have the door taken off by a vehicle driving by.

i pulled the module apart and put rtv silicone in the buzzer/speaker and let dry,then folded up a small piece of paper towel,put over the buzzer and put it back together. worked pretty good, could barely here it at all.

Think it's more to tell you you left the key in the ignition than the door open
On my '95 I just popped open the dinger box and removed a quarter size disk. Took about 30 seconds, no more ding.

the first thing I do with ANY vehicle I purchase is disable the door buzzer... either by unplugging the actual speaker, destroying the speaker, etc.

who needs to be constantly reminded that their door is open?!?!?
