Alarm sound that lets you know the key is still in ignition when you open the door.

[danielrusty]

Hi there. I have a Y61 4,8 patrol. It has to be the most annoying alarm and i was wondering if it will create any problems if i remove the sensor?? I have had a quick little look and think the sensor must be in the depressor button where the door jams shut on. Is this correct does anyone know??

I dont know why an alrarm needs to warn you that i have my keys in the ignition.

Thanks in advance.

Mine only tells me if lights on when I open the door with motor off

Can be done by disconnecting a wire in the steering assembly, I have done it but have forgotten how I did it, I am sure that it is here somewhere.

Noticed that this had already been done on mine when I bought it.

Take off the bottom steering column cover. There's a plug with two wires hanging from near the bottom of the ignition barrel. Pull plug apart. Rebuild.

Thanks for the heads up. I managed to pull the door jam button off, removed the wires and now no alarm sound:) But now when i open the drivers door, the interior light doesnt come on. Small price to pay for peace and quiet.

Have a look at this thread.

Thanks for the link Yendor, do you think this will be the same procedure for the Petrol 4.8ltr?

[Yendor]

Yes, it will be the same.

The door button I believe does a number of things, such as the interior light as you've noticed, the key alarm, headlight alarm, and the car alarm! So i definitely wouldn't leave it disconnected!

Bugger, i thought i had that one done and dusted. Never realised it was also linked to the other alarms you mentioned. The headlights alarm can actually be helpful whilst drunk out bush camping.... Ill replace this and do the shroud removal method. Much appreciated folks.

Schmick!

i took out the switch of my 2014 3.0 GU and tested the wires for the light and door alarm, so broke off terminal for alarm tested and refit, worked a treat

Wrong!!

I thought great until i jumped in it to drivethe next morning, now i have the alarm light flashing constantly, no headlight warning, no key engaged warning

Think ill stick with the alarm sound, heaps better than red flashing light that annoys the crap outa me as i work nights, like sittin behind a B Double in peak hr.

After all it is a safety issue as well, and i payed someone money to fit it, sounds rediculous but i gotta take the positive out of it.
