disarming the warning buzzers

Dear Honda,

I manage a big farm in Pennsylvania and my Ridgeline is my office and mobile shop. Love it but the alarms are enough to get me very frustrated. I am in and out of the vehicle fifty times a day and removing the key when you are a mile from a public road and only exiting for a few moments to attend to something...just is so pointless. I made a fake seat belt out of wood but the key buzzer gets me ten times a day and every time I get a little irate. I've never owned a vehicle which I didn't disarm but this one is really too nice to take a chance on. The dealer wouldn't even touch it and kind of warned me it wouldn't be easy. Before I hurt it couldn't you tell me how to get the buzzers to shut up?

The beeper is an integral part of the gauge control module (which includes the gauges) and therefore cannot be unplugged. In addition to seat belts, lights on and key in, it also sounds when there is low oil pressure or a braking fault. I would leave it well alone.

I drive a lot on 2 lane highways; I like to drive with my headlights on all the time.....
I love the fact that the RL automatically shuts the lights off if I leave them on when I leave the vehicle.
I love the fact when I hit "Unlock" on my key-fob the headlights come on.
I HATE the annoying beeping the RL makes when you leave the lights on!

I'll tell you how I got the 02 Tacoma I drove just before the RTL. I located the buzzer but Icouldn't unplug it like every Chevy I ever drove and I got frustrated so I just squeezed it pretty good with channel locks. Pretty dangerous I presume but it worked great. If it's quiet you can still hear that miserable little device still trying to chime. My '95 Ranger, on the other hand was impossible--I scraped most of the skin on my Knuckles trying to be at it up there to the right of the steering wheel. But since the door ajar sensor malfunctioned I hadto do something so I pulled the fuse, takes out your wipers and odometer and tach, too. So I burned out a fuse, soldered wires and connected them with a swithch on the dash so when it malfunctioned or I wanted to sit in the car with my door open I flipped the switch. Saved a lot of mileage. Miserable piece of c___ that thing was. Now I'm lookin' to this forum for some good tip! Also like to turn off the ABS. It's [B]not so good[B] on wet grass.:mad:

Funny story on the door ajar switch. I had the same problem on my '99 Ranger. I couldn't find the button that normally turns it on, so I looked on the internet to get some answers. I found that it was located in the door and actually worked off the latch itself and that it was listed as a very common problem. So I took the door panels off and located it. It looked like rather a pain in the butt to get out, so until I could get a new one and take the time to dig it out, I just lubed it up real good. Result was that I never did have to replace it. All it needed was lubing. I wonder how many other switches got replaced due to lack of lube?
