Hi guys can somebody give a link to get rid of these B****y noises, i've seen a link but just cant find it. Cheers Guys & Girls

At the side of your right leg ,take the side panel off the door pillar, under the panel is either a blue or green box , you can either unplug this to stop all the beeps or just cut the white wire to stop the ignition beep.

Thanks for that - I had the dash in pieces the other day, and with my head in it I still couldn't work out where that damn beeping was coming from!!

So:

White = keys.

What about the rest?
I could do without being reminded I'm going backwards. Looking out of the windows does that for me!

Not 100% sure but i think its the orange wire for the reverse.

Am I right in thinking that whatever wire = whatever condition goes from 0v to 12v when that condition exists?

i.e. White wire goes 12v when keys in and switched off, Possibly Orange goes +12v when in reverse, etc?

If so, it should be easy with a sharp set of meter leads to probe the wires to see what does what.

sound's about right.

I'll have a play with that when I get home in 10 days

Cheers guys will try & gee it a go, god dont it drive you mental Why cant they just put labels on them saying 'STOP DRIVING ME CRAZY' off switch. Cheers again will get out there when it stops raining in Plymouth, that will be a first for the last few summers, I know winter is coming in soon but my webbed feet are sodden, trench foot they used to call it.

I reduced the volume by quite a few dBs by poking a broken piece of match stick into the hole in the centre of the piezo sounder. That way you still get the warning without the noise.

Anything to keep the dreaded tinnitus at bay! And not to let the neighbours know how late you got home.

Where is the 'piezo sounder' I just cant find out where its coming from but I do know its around the dash/footwell area

Can't help with the reversing beep (mines a manual box) but for the keys in ignition beep pictures on this thread of what I done.......

The sounder is inside the light green(on mine) box containing the circuit board with the sounder on it.The sounder is black and circular with a hole in the centre. The box is behind the trim near the door pillar to the right of the accelorator pedal.

It is fiendishly difficult to establish by ear which of the boxes is the one making the noise. Unplugging one by one is the best way to isolate the right one but they don't always come out easily without fear of damaging them.

Hope this helps, unfortunately I'm indoors at the desk not looking under the trim in the van and it's a while since I did it. In fact it was the first mod I did - almost as soon as I got it home!

Thanks my sounder is also light green & ur right it is difficult I had a look today took the trim off found the box but couldnt get the plug out of the bottom so i've still got that beeping beep, Will try again later

There is helpful instruction video on You_Tube for anyone that hasn't found the beeper yet!

The reversing signal is carried on the R/Y coloured wire (Red with Yellow) and should be the wire in the middle of the plug (on the connector F) opposite the plastic clip on the sounder module.
