Default Sometimes things do work out

One of the things that kept nagging me was my key buzzer didn't work (I know some of you don't care, but if it left the factory working, I want it to work) nor did the drivers door or hood opening trigger the factory alarm. Well, my tach broke so I pulled the steering column and drivers side dash, and sent it out for repair. While out I installed all new vacuum hoses under the dash (engine compartment already installed) and dash light bulbs. While under there I found a black wire disconnected near the kick panel. After consulting a wiring diagram it appeared to go to the door ajar/interior light switch in the door jam. I pulled the switch and reconnected the ground wire, now the key buzzer buzzes and the alarm is fully functional.

I am the same way, have fixed numerous nit-noid things, even including the seat belt buzzer.

Im that way too. My seatbelt light reset switch has failed and I don't want to pull my console until winter. Its bugging the crap out of me. Everytime I go for a ride I reset it to see if it will go out
