1. Remove steering column shroud
- 3 screws
- remove key surround
- with a small screwdriver, gently force the two shroud sections apart.
Insert the screwdriver where the 2 stalks enter the shroud. Only the bottom section of shroud has to be removed fully.
2. On top of the key cylinder 2 wires exit with black tube wrap, going to a white plug - for 4.2 models. For 3.0 models the plug is brown. This plugs into a white socket which is wrapped in foam around the black wiring loom. JUST UNPLUG IT!
Good tip, i too find them very annoying, only brand new car ive ever bought was a 98 Nissan Pulsar, that bloody key in buzzer thing didn't last even one day, and i dissconected it in the same manner as you described.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever. WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
Tony, even a whingeing pomm, says thank you very much. The silence is beautiful.
Even in -2° conditions I was still able to do this in under 15 min. Thank you again.
This process is in the reference document but thank you.
I wondered if i disconnected mine, if the headlight beep would still function.
Yes it does.
Did the same for another fellow, reckons he could have missed me. Pass..
It's brilliant, so thanks
