How To: Stop The Door Open Beep

[jase33]

Hooray. Ive finally worked it out.

You know the beep that happens when youre trying to work on your pride and joy and listen to some music with the door open and all you can hear is the "beep beep beep".

Well I found the control box to fix it

You have 2 options to fix this.

1. Get a ridiculously loud sound system, and annoy the neighbours...

or 2. Cut a wire.

I went for option 2 because I like my neighbours.

Located under the dash on the drivers side is a little black box labelled "smart entrance".

There is a black wire with a purple stripe on it. Cut it and wrap electrical tape over the ends.

Thats it.

This does not mean that when you leave your lights on you wont get that beep, you still will.

Thanks to Jack88 for informing me of the colour of the wire.

This is my first DIY so I hope it is helpful and not pathetic!!

Cheers, Jase.

I know the feeling ... I just had a look for the wire but i couldn't find it... Do u know if its the same colour for the r33 gtst sedan??

[R33_Dude]

As my car is in a million pieces while it is getting repaired I decided to go looking for the wire you mention. I also couldn't find it.

So I went for option three which was to take that plastic strip off the door and disconnect the sensor at the door end. Took about 2 minutes.

The downside is that the interior light doesn't come on when the doors are opened, but that doesn't really bother me as much as that beeping did...

or you could just turn the car to the ON position when working on your car and beeping gone? lol no cutting of wires required.

lol, by doing that, (and if you have an a alarm also) it will disable the alarm as its wired to the switch.

No alarm so no worries for me

Sure its not a perfect system but it worked for me...

should be, but not sure on that.

ahhh, no. sometimes i work on my car for hours. bye bye batttery and isnt that bad for the ignition system??

[Jack88]

i should also add that in a series 1 its to the left hand side of the glove box housing,not in the same place as the series 2's. check my tut for the series 1 version.

hey all

found another way to get rid of the beep without cutting the wire.

i simply listened to where the beep was coming from and unplugged the plug that went to the lil siren.

heres a video of mine. btw its a s1 r33 gtst.

hope this helps those that couldnt find the wire.

if you cant be bothered watching the video, its a lil orangy yellow box just on the left hand side of the steering column. it has a white plug with wires facing down.

by just unpluging that buzzer you will have lost your power windowns/mirrors and locking.i tryed this in the begining with mine and thats what happend. mine was a series 1 also.

[SLY-25T]

thats strange cause mine still work?

[DRD-00F]

Yeah I found the little bugger once and pulled it while doing some work... forgot to put it back, windows and mirrors didn't work...

I have opted for the 1st choice...

[NA_Goodness]

I did the same thing, and lost all my windows. However, that isnt the beeper. Thats right next to it with another clip. Remove that clip and you'll have no beeper but it allows the windows to work. Not too hard to find.

[and3_3]

I did what he did in the video, all works fine for me. Very odd.

[mr moo]

was installing the alarm on the gtr and there are two plugs one for the door beep and one for the lights,on the back of the key barrel.means you have to pull apart the trim around the steering column. just unplug that and should all be sweet. no cutting of wires. (don't ask me what colour or anything as my dad did it who was an auto elec for a while).

[Josh33]

hey just did mine, different way though.

entry is via the small pull out section near bonnet release.

on the right hand side, under the steering wheel is a black box with 'smart entry' on it, size is about 4cm by 7cm

undo 2 screws to take the box off the holding bracket.

take out white plastic plug from box. (sticks in there pretty good)

the black surround around where the plug went comes out, you will see where u can put in a screwdriver to jimmy it out.

take out the circuit board.

match up where the actual beeper is from where the audio holes are on the side (it is a round black cylinder abour 5c piece in diamater and 10 cm high)

CAREFULLY either:

1- prize it off with a flathead screwdriver and pull out the terminals with some needle nose pliers gently (i did it this way easily)

2- get a solder iron and reheat/undo the conection from the back

put everything back the way you found it

this way it wont phuk with you alarm or windows or anything else, cos everything is as it was, just no noise cos obviously no beeper

btw car was a r33gtst S2, should take about 20 mins max, have fun

I disconnected the buzzer at the plug and everything still works fine on my Series 1 R33 GTST.

LOL..to all these people that followed all these steps..

Easier choice, unplug the loom that goes to the beeper.

It's right under the steering column guys...listen and you will find a small black plastic box bout the size of a match box with a little hole in it where the beeping comes out of.

Everything still works fine..ie Alarm, windows..bla bla bla...

It's just the loom that sends a signal to the beeper to well literally beep and annoy the sh*t out of you.

Yep. I thought that was what people meant when they unplugged the beeper itself?!?!

Why you'd mess with anything else is beyond me.
