Does your dome lamp turn on?
If so, then replace your timer/buzzer with another one from the junkyard.
If not, then clean your grounds on the door switches.Last edited by bravekozak; 07-18-2014, 05:53 AM. -
Yeah, my buzzer works on and off, it always has.
Couldn't care less though, it is quite a irritating buzzer anyway. Wish we could swap for a better sounding one, but I have a feeling all the ones that would fit the festys would be from mazdas, and would all sound the same.1991 Ford Festiva BP (Full Aspire/Rio Swap) (337k Miles) (Around 95k Engine)

It is possible to install a nice chime from a Caddy or Lexus. Let me investigate the possibilities.Last edited by bravekozak; 07-31-2014, 03:13 PM.Comment

How about a good old voice annunciator, instead?
A friend of mine used to own an 80′s era 280Z with “the voice”. We always made fun of him because the car always told him the door was a jar. For which we would promptly reply, it’s not a jar, its a door!? We were kids.

If a caddy chime won't plug into your existing plug socket, make up some 'jumper cables' from your Festiva plug socket to the Caddy chime. YES?Comment
