Ive gotten my dome light to come on and want my dinger to come pn when the light does. Where is the buzzer?? I may not have one or it may just be unhooked. Any suggestions? Thanks guys

RH side of the steering column under the dash. It's a blk box with 8 or so wires that should be plugged in to it. The connector wont go far if it was only unplugged.

Lay on you back in the driver's foot well and look up under there and it's pretty easy to see.

Unless it's untaxed, then it's red.

I'm with lovin', I wish mine was there.
I've checked 2 parts trucks and they won't plug in-must be '93 specific.

Are you sure you didn't grab onto the timer for the Halo Ring?

I replaced my buzzer with an electronic chime.

I'm pretty sure it was the buzzer as it was making funny sounds while messing with it then i unhooked it. it was kinda demented sounding anyway.

Jim, what did the chime come out of?
That'd be right up my alley.
Was there a big swap in wiring it in?

Dodge might just as well have stuck a team of midgets with un cut finger nails and tiny chalk boards inside the dash to let us know when the door was open.

The chime came from Radio Shack, Ill have to look at it to remember how I connected it to the original buzzer, but it was a simple operation.
