i'm too lazy to go look at my civic right now, but i had that chime disabled on my integra and i bet it's the same setup on the civic. it was pretty simple; there was a little 'button' in the door jamb that gets pressed by the door so the car knows when it's open or closed. to disable it you have to pull the rubber cover off from over the screw, unscrew it, and pull the button out. there was 1 wire plugged into this button that i unplugged, and screwed the button back in.

the only crappy thing about not having the chime is that there'll be no reminder to take your keys out of the ignition when leaving the car.

 

or that the car alarm wont go off is someone manages to open the door? or that the lights wont come on automatically when you open your door at night?

 

OMFG SOMONE PLEASE FIGURE THIS OUT!!! I get so pissed and annoyed when that beeping keeps going on and on and onnnn when the door is open.

 

did you not read the post above yours? i just looked at my civic, it's the same as my integra. find the little button covered in rubber in the driver's door jamb, open the flap to find the screw, pull the whole thing out, and unplug it. simple as that.

 

close the door at:

 

You really don't need to disable it just turn the key one click before you would start it and it beeps like 5 times and then stops.

 

if the door is open, it keeps beeping, the beep your hearing i would think be the seatbelt one.

 

Yeah it beeps like it does when you don't have your seatbelt on, but then stops and doesn't do it again.

 

in for the results

 

I wish you could change the sounds. I'd rather hear the "leave your light on" chime. than the loud beep

 

this is annoying. in my old car, if you pulled the key out and put it back in it would go away. kind of like telling the car "i know the keys in the car, i want it there"
a quick fix is to just put the car in II, i doubt the battery would run down..

 

YouTube - No Beeping!

 

idk, but what ever happened to turning the car on, but not starting it? you'll only hear the seatbelt chime for a few secs n then no more sounds n u don't have to mess with anything......

 

if only more people went in and just started cutting wires to disable stuff, car makers wouldn't put this bullshit in. i can see safety stuff, but a ding that says "hey hey hey you forgot your keys hey your keys are in the car hey you hey you hey you". i wonder what they were thinking. ya, i'm glad it was still dinging 5 minutes later, because for the first 5 minutes of it dinging i didn't realize my keys were in the ignition.

:rotfl:
sorry for the post whoring.

 

one thing that u might think about is if you wired a switch inline with the dinger itself and you could just disable the dinger when you want to, and turn it back on for when you may forget to put your seatbelt on.

btw where is the dinger? i would really like to know!

 

fir a temporary fix, put some duct tape over the button. its halfway up the door, close to the outside door handle. not hard to find. havent tried it yet, but duct tape or packaging tape should do it...

 

that's the same thing as disconnecting the button, but more ghetto.

 

yeah, but its not permanent. he can do it while hes cleaning his car, and take it off afterward. i dont want to disconnect the button incase my aftermarket alarm is wired into it...

 

In my accord i could just take a phillips and unscrew the door button half way and the chime would stop... Im assuming that it is the same with the civic since it is just a ground switch

 

I've heard turning the key to the "on" position isnt too good for the car. Something like all of the systems of the car now has power, draining it much quicker. Accessory (1st position) is for radio and little stuff. Anyone?

 

The speaker is located on a circuit board under the dash. I forget the name of the board but it located right above the interior fuse box. The only thing you can do to disable it is to desolder the speaker from the board. It's not connected with wires and there is no other way to disable the chime. Unless to take out the door sensor as others have said. But this will cause the interior lights to not work and the alarm will not go off if the door is opened.

 

I recently removed my door chime from the tach. Its pretty simple to do. Remove the lower panel below the steering column. Unscrew a bolt that holds the upper plastic panel in place. Its located on the underside of it. After the bolt is removed, the upper panel just pulls out with clips. Three bolts to remove the tach. Disconnect the tach from the wiring harness. Remove the back cover of the tach and there's a little blue speaker on the circuit board. Just wiggle it back and forth in a twisting motion a little ways and it will slowly slide out from the board. and no more door chime.

Is this the speaker you are talking about?

Because I can't seem to wiggle it out. It seems glued and soldered on there.

 

i keep a philips screwdriver in the door pocket and when i know im going to leave it open for a time i use it to remove the driver's door switch. that opens the ground enabling the chime. just dont let the wire fall back though the hole. (thats a B piller removal = seatbelt removal)

if you dont remimber you took it out, you will when the dome lights dont work LOL.

 

Is this the blue speaker you are referring to?

I can't seem to wiggle it out, seems to be soldered/glued on there.
