Key in ignition buzzer?

[ham1974]

I replaced my key switch now buzzer wont turn off. I removed the fuse buzzer stopped but it also is the fuse for the interior lights. Is there anyway to disengage the key switch buzzer without removing the steering the wheel again? Car is a 86 monte carlo ss.

The buzzer has a module mounted behind the dash near the ebrake pedal. You can unplug this to stop the buzzing.

Can the buzzer be turned up my buzzer is very low.

Check you door jamb switch. If that fails it won't stop buzzing. It could just be a coincedence that the switch hit the sh*tter at the same time. Door open push the switch in... No change then boom you know the problem. Good luck.
(And to the low buzz you might just have a worn solenoid. Where the flasher is mounted there is the buzzer you could try replacing it. It's not too expensive like 10 bucks or so)

Ok I'll give it shot, what should i be looking for any pics?

So on your fuse block under the dash there are two silver units. One is your flasher and the other should be your buzzer just below the white circle in the upper corner. I don't have a pic on hand I can get one sometime soon for you though.

Are you sure about this? On a Cutlass the chime module is a big plastic red box behind ( I can't recall specifically ) where the rear defog switch is. You can just unplug it. It's a pain to get to too. Again though, this is on a Cutlass. It would seem weird to me if they had a completely differenct setup in a Monte by having it right on the fusebox, but then again, maybe the Monte 'buzzer' is different from the pleasant sounding 'chime' on the Cutlass.

The volume being low is a common problem. The foam in the speaker goes bad. There's a guy on the Olds forums who name I don't recall who fixes them. I got one from him and the low volume issue was solved.

Gotta say I'm not 100% but on my 79 elky it's right there. It's basically just a flasher unit that when energized vibrates a plate. Mine doesn't even play through the speakers. (No mod but I would like a nice chime instead of an annoying buzz. Or maybe like a voice that speaks to me "you left your lights on again" blah blah blah)
