How do I disconnect the warning beep for the handbrake

[hakhawk]

disengage the handbrake?

[acarmody]

Handbrake warning is very important. If you drive around with a partially engaged handbrake it will heat them up and destroy your brakes very fast, could also start a fire.

find the wire that goes to the handbrake-up switch and either earth it permanently, or snip it & leave disconnected - depending on if it's normally open or normally closed.

I just want to disconnect the bit that makes the beep that's all, the actual beeper part. I have had a good look but just cant find where they hide it, my car is a VT some one must know where it is as this is not the only thing that makes it beep!

Yes, that should do it

[ausrs]

if they made it easy to stop the beep ,everyone with faulty airbags would
1 remove the globe
2 cut the wire to the beeper !
I have never been able to find it and i removed the dash to replace the evap and heater cores !

AFAIK the "beep" comes out of a small piezo inside the dash cluster, which also emits other sounds like low fuel etc, and it can't be disabled. It may also be controlled by the BCM but i'm not sure.

Maybe you'd need to snip the wire down near the handbrake lever itself? That's what's generating the signal that "tells" the dash cluster.

I would if that was the only beep I was getting but the airbag and oil pressure is making it beep too!

get the airbag and oil pressure problems fixed, and the beeping will go away! theyre both much needed warnings, not really something you want to disable

You're getting other beeps too (and i assume lights on the dash cluster)? Does it play just a one-tone beep or multiple beeps (like a melody etc). If so you might need someone to look at it.

Maybe your ABS module is faulty, it's a common VT/VX fault and causes multiple beeps/warning lights - do a search there's heaps of threads on this. There used to be a bloke on eBay who repaired ABS/TCS modules - you send him your faulty one and he sends another repaired one back (i.e. exchange). That was in late 2007, i haven't checked lately but he (and probably others) are likely still doing this.

Like I've been saying all along I only want to disable/cut/destroy the beeper nothing more
I do not want to pay any one to fix it the car is not worth spending a cent on so if anyone out
the knows where that little beeper is let me know I don't need any solutions to the problem,
but thanks anyway

its been said lol

[kaz777cars]

well I pulled the oil light out and it doesn't beep on idle now so hopefully problem solved.

[Dayvo]

Try using Ear plugs .

Hehe i like it

I believe you mean 'Problem hidden' not 'Problem solved'
As has been said, you cant just disable the beeper. Its not just a tiny speaker located somewhere that you just have to snip a wire to. If you dont want to spend a cent on this car, then just deal with the beeping. From the sounds of things and the fact you dont want to fix anything you wont have to put up with it long before the car shits itself big time anyways. Goodluck

yeh silly idea to stop it IMO, its telling you something is wrong so best idea is to fix it.. thats why its there
