Put some dynamite in the door and blow it up, that always works
 j/kIm sure there is a wire somewhere that all you have to do is cut it and the noise stops. -Chucky --------------------  |

I cant remember exactly how it works but there is a connector on the ignition switch (a little 2 pin one) that is the 'key in the ignition' switch. Unplug it and the car won't know when the key is in. I think that'll eliminate what you're talking about.

That can cause problems if you leave it unplugged though...without that wire, your steering column will lock and stuff.

U sure??? I've been driving with it like that for the last several thousand miles. I think the steering lock is controlled by the actual mechanicals of the ignition switch. It would be too much of a liability for toyota to have it electrically controlled....kinda like having electric brakes....what if the battery goes dead? Steering locks and you have no brakes? That would suck!!!

You must be right. I just assumed that it used the key-in wire because I was able to start my car but the steering would lock up unless the key was in the ignition.

Turn your key to the ON position and the beeping will stop.

That works, but it leaves the ignition and ecu on. More of a drain on the battery and not really good for stuff. |

Besides draining the battery which its designed to do, whats it bad for? Ur electronics are on all the time, having the car off but stuff on doesnt do ne thing. Only thing it is going to do is drain teh battery, and if u have ur system blaring its going to go pretty quick, just dont have the system on.

I personally wouldn't bother to stop the beeping. I just use the stereo in my home. It does seem like a good project tho.

Yeah I do that a lot too so that would be a good idea to disconnect it. Especially when it's hot and stuff and you're just waiting in your car listening to music... |

OK think about that for a second. You want the beeping to stop, so the easiest way of doing that is to turn your car on. The beeping will stop, but ur car wll be on. Its not going to drain the battery SO MUCH more faster, but its going to what you want it to. I dont know what you do for so long that you want the radio on and the door open but if your working with any electronics in your car you definately should have the battery disconnected. So in conclusion, the reason you would do that is to stop the beeping which you so much desire. I dont think you have the know how to be taking your car apart. -------------------- |

Your sucha lil prick. You love starting with people. First off, I did my own swap. So your comment that i dont have the know how to be taking my car apart is complete garbage, and everybody knows that, including yourself. I'm right, you dont have the know-how. Secondly, my comment was the best comment you got. Its the best solution to your issue. You want your beeping to stop, unless you plan on ripping apart your dash and stuff, its not going to stop. Or, you can turn the key, and your car will be technically on.
Maybe you just dont understand what im saying. Take the key, and instead of having on ACC, go to ON. NOT START! I'm not saying start your car I'm saying turn on your dash and fan and stuff. Thats all that changes, so instead of having JUST your radio on, you'll have a few others things on, like a few lights on your dash and stuff. Its the quickest and easiest solution to your issue. So you wanna come at me with non-sense, like I dont kno what im talknig about, then fine you spit ur garbage. But you above all people know thats all your spitting.
