Emergency brake buzzer

[CrackerTeg]

Anyone know where this annoying little buzzer is? I want to remove it if it isn't the same one used for lights on. If it is tied in, which inputs would I need to remove to shut the thing off when I use my e-brake? It may sound stupid for my wanting to remove it but its an annoyance I don't care to have.

It is built into the MICU under the dash, a easy way but you will lose indication of E-Brake, is to disconnect the switch attached to the handle under the cup holders.

I knew there was something else tied to it. Fucking lame. There's gotta be another way around it to avoid losing the brake indicator in the cluster even if I have to desolder something and pull shit apart and cut myself several times in the process.

[NVA-AV6]

Nothing I know of, the buzzer is in the MICU and is tied to the processor in it which is then tied to the CAN bus which feeds data to the cluster, to kill one , you kill both since both are signaled from the same line.

Now that puts a damper on my day. Fuck.

[NVA-AV6]

Sorry dude, maybe what you could do is wire a different light and add it to the dash to replace the e-brake warning light. Also disconnectng the ebrake switch from the MICU will NOT affect the cluster lights function as far as fluid level warning indication, just ebrake.

[CrackerTeg]

Oh really? I thought it killed the light all together. Now I'm in a better mood. I think I might come up with the light workaround for the e-brake just so the light is still there just without the annoying beep.

I don't think my coupe beeps for the e brake is it year, transmission or trim leval specific?

Z, just curious, why do you want to remove the beeping function?

[b_beau_09]

mine has never beeped....? so I have no idea what this thread is about..?

[Icebox]

it should if the e-brake is engaged while trying to drive.

[CrackerTeg]

DING DING DING. Dave hit it on the head. I want to remove it because its fucking annoying. Sometimes while slowing down near cops, I'd rather not let them see my brake lights otherwise it sends a nice little red flag. Slowing down with the e-brake ever so slightly doesn't do that.

[Icebox]

are you an auto?

[slipkord]

Im sure that'll screw something up Z, esp at hwy speeds. Why not splice some wires, run a switch, flip it so it turns your brake lights off, hit the brakes and no lighty lighty and your good. Not like I've done this before, but I know it works.

*edit* Yeah David, Z has a manual....why not just throw it down a gear or two, better deceleration than the e-brake!!

I know what it is. I'm telling you it'd never gone off in my coupe.. I'm auto.  i do exactly what Z was describing, use it to slow down slightly at night when I see a cop just in case I'm over the speed limit by a few.. but there's never been any beeping or tone.
