Help Electrical Bug in my 348

faulty door contact maybe? thinks your door is open when it isn't? Just a hunch.

That buzzing sound is one of the most annoying infuriating sounds on the planet. I've tried several times to locate the source of it and failed. I'd love to kill it for good.

 

Your dome light should have 3 setting.

Tilt it full forward, tilt it flat, and tilt it backwards. One is always light on. Another position is the light is always off. The third setting is the light comes on when your door is open.

Check that a seat belt isn't caught in your passenger door. Make certain that both doors are closing fully.

Set your dome light to the "always off" position.

Now you shouldn't need to use your battery kill switch.

 

I believe that 44 and/or 46 are your buzzers in the passenger footwell (or just to the right of your steering column, I've forgotten now). Just unplug them. I did.

#46 in the diagram IS the buzzer for the key, but it isn't in the passenger footwell, it's just above the driver's left knee. Pull down the carpeting just below the dash, right next to the knob for the backup release handle for the front trunk, and you will see two relays. The one on the right is the buzzer, and it can be unplugged from the harness.

If you are having a problem with both the buzzer and the dome light, it seems likely that the cause may be with the switch, which is located at the lower hinge for the drivers door. Look at the hinge (the part on the frame, not the part on the door itself) and you should see two pushbuttons. IIRC, one of them is for the buzzer and the dome light, the other one is for the seat belt. It's possible that one of them has become unclipped from the correct position and fallen fully or partially inside the cavity behind the hinge.

I can't explain the symptom of buzzing only below 3400 rpm, but if you just had to replace the battery, did you have the alternator tested as well?

 

I knew that you'd know! Good man.

 

Detective burk is on the case! (what, no cool photos with the pointer device?) I always enjoy your posts Jeff...

Well, now that you mention it, I DID take pictures with the pointer device (an arrow shaft) and I intended to post them, but I'm having trouble getting pictures to download from the camera's memory card. Used to work just fine.

 

The pool cue is always my favorite!!!

 

LOL!

It had better be the pool cue.
