I had a 2000 ram a few years ago and now i have a 97. My 2000 had a nice soft pinging when the door was open, and the 97 has a stupid annoying loud buzz. Has anyone changed there door buzzers, or any suggestions?

 

it under the dash take it out. but remember when your headlight are on it doesnt tell you. i did that on my 96. i couldn't stand it when i was listening to the radio.

 

where abouts is the buzzer at so i can rip it outta my truck?

 

No, dont take it out. On the steering column, unsrew and remove the top and bottom plastic covers. Underneath the key cylinder is a two wire connection. Unplug it. Door buzzer stops, everything else functions normally. You could even wire it like I did to the key ring light for those of us that dont have the light from the factory

 

Is it possible though to put the newer one into my 97?

 

umm i don't think they're the same going to junkyard and see if they can get you one to try .

under the dash right around your brake pedal it a little black box. but like i said you take it out and leave light on it doesnt work or when mil come on

 

i don't think so. on my 01 the dinger is in the CTM box, under the dash and sort of behind the cigarette lighter. its controls all things timing related. i don't know where the 97 buzzer is, but the likelyhood of it being interchangable with the 01 is slim to none.

as said, remove the column covers and unplug the switch connector.

 

I thought i heard somewhere the dinger from a jeep would work...

 

if i remove it, i just loose the buzzer if i leave my lights on?
