Interior Buzzer in my 73' Coupe
The interior Buzzer keeps buzzing while the door is open on my 73' even if the key is out of the ignition. Is there an easy fix for this? Does anyone know what wire to disconnect to stop this noise? I can't see from under the dash where this buzzer is located but from the sound of it, it must be up into the bottom of the dash on the drivers side of the car. I really don't need this thing blasting in my ear all the time.

I guess I jumped the gun here guys. I forgot I still had a GM Passenger car service manual for the year 72' from when I had my 72' Coupe which should be no different then for my 73' Coupe. All the info I want on this buzzer is right there and I was right by where I thought the sound was coming from right under the dash pad between the tack and speedometer. I think I will just unplug it so I never hear it again.

Would you mind posting that info, I am interested in finding out about that. I was reading your 1st post and I thought oh goody I get to learn something new, then went to you 2nd post and was like oh darn. So if you wouldn't mind, maybe you can either post it or send it to me via private message.

1. See that ignition key is pushed all the way into the ignition switch.
2. Open the driver's door, and observe the lit dome lamp.
3. If both the dome lamp and buzzer fail to operate, check the dome lamp fuse, then the door switch for defects. A realigned door may mean the self adjusting door jamb switch must be replaced.
4. If the dome lamp is on, but the buzzer fails to operate remove the electrical plug from key reminder buzzer which is taped to the instrument panel harness, just above the fuse panel.
5. Connect a powered light, or ohmmeter across the contacts of the buzzer. Continuity should be read across the buzzer normally closed contacts.
6. If continuity is read through the buzzer contacts then check the steering column harmonica connector circuits 159 (black wire) and circuit 140 (orange wire).
7. If the buzzer did not operate, but the circuit showed continuity,replace the buzzer.
From what I can see the easiest thing to do in my case is to unplug the key reminder buzzer from atop the speedometer housing so I never have to hear this thing again.
