Trying to figure out if this car came with one. Previous owner had an alarm installed and it's a mess under the dash. What does the ignition buzzer look like, and where is it located? (No luck searching). Also, do these cars have headlight buzzers as well? I need that more than anything (son has a habit of leaving them on).

Thanks.

i thought the buzzer was attached to the fuse block, black square box, near one of the flashers.
as for headlight on reminders, no, not equipped from factory on 79 malibu. i believe you can buy one aftermarket. do a search, there are several out there ranging from dyi, to store bought.

Thanks for the reply. I don't see a black box next to the flashers. Maybe it's gone? Anyone have a pic?

On the backside of the dash....lower left...there is what they call a convenience center....I believe your buzzers should be located there...

sorry for the bad lighting...this is an 86 dash but earlier ones should be pretty similar.

So like this? Had to squeeze under but the black box with white looking flasher is in that area behind the dash.

Just above the courtesy light.

Looks like your in the right area....I'm sure I've got some buzzers here somewhere that I could post a pic of...might take some digging to find them. Seat belt buzzer should look similar to this image I found on google..

'79 Malibu. I have the dash removed. This is from the top down. The buzzer is right above the driverside foot well lighting socket.
