Where is that @#$%$## buzzer?

Re: momentary switch

Why not put a momentary (switch is open=non-conducting when pressed) in the line. When starting depress the button soon as engine starts (or thumb goes numb) let go. Buzzer off and on when you need it to be.

Best Idea for your situation yet. If you turn it off, you can forget about it. This way it is still active once you acomplish what you wanted.

RE: Re: momentary switch

...a switch is obvoiusly an answer, the newer m656/xm757 series 8x8s came from factory with this pushbutton on the dash, however, if you are doing other things in the cab or right outside (looking for an air leak, for example) it doesn't do much good, I'm pulsing my buzzer on the 8x8 too.....

I'm not interested in selling my black box, which Recovry4x4 often mentions, thank you for that Kenny! It's simply too expensive to build in small quantities. Since it was designed some 8 years ago I have not sold one unit at the full price and I have only made 1/2 dozen including my own. Full price would be over $100 list...
Using the flasher unit is, IMHO a better way to go and it keeps a spare flasher handy too.

The buzzer on our water truck was unplugged, and since I didn't know anything, I just thought that we would install Saturn's air gauge update kit which includes a warning light with a "y" connector. Found the buzzer in the mean time, but still only hooked up the light. Installed in the middle of the gauge cluster with a red lens cover so it does get your attention. Gauge and light was $36+ and light only was $11+.

For now maybe momentary switch is a good way to go. But sense I put the block heater in, it is not as big an issue. The engine catches a lot better.

Well I guess that box on the firewall that has a wire close to it is my buzzer box . Now all I have to do is insert wire into connector!

The low air buzzer is probably one the most irritating sounds created by man. I feel your pain Madsam. It should be on the firewall. Just unplug it. No need for any alternate system. Just look at your gauges.

The first time I heard it, I said: What is that!? "What the f*ck is that!?" (similar to R. Lee Ermey in FMJ) unplugged it from there on out.

I also always unplug the beeper from any heavy equipment that I rent as well. That sound is also up there on the annoying list.

Think it rivals the FAX tone?

How about a switch that has a mechanical timer? You turn it and it cuts the buzzer circuit and after 5 mintues it'll close and re-enable the buzzer.

this is the best idea yet.

You'd be surprised how much less annoying the intermittant beep...beep...beep is.
Again, here is one solution, which would also keep a spare flasher available if/when the turn signal one fails.
