Default Buzz noise

Does anyone know how to disable that noise your jeep makes when the door is open and the keys are in? I k ow this thingy has to be pushed in, but it looks like I can take it off. Not sure what will happen if I do. Help please

You should be able to unplug the buzzer unit under the dash and leave the door switches alone.

That 'thingy' operates your interior lights and perhaps also an alarm system if you have one. Takes the wires of the buzzer if you can find it. Earplugs work too

if you take off the kicker panel the button has a plug you can disconnect it it will have the wires 2 yellow and 1 black alternatively you can cut the black but you will loose you roof lights when you open the doors but the light switch will still turn them on/off

Did exactly as you said. Turned it on and felt for it. I pinned it to this, one picture I am pointing to where mine was located (to the left of the interior fuse panel) and in the other picture it shows what I pulled out. The noise stopped and did what I hoped it would do. And the interior dome light still works when the door opens. I think some one made a comment about it. I still need to go out and check if my alarm system still works though.
