[hofficergrover]

it is on both sides of the car down in the rear wheel wells

[FestYboy]

looks like your door switch ground wire, should be connected to the jam switch.

[hofficergrover]

ok but my car dont have any switch for the dome light they have been taken out. so should i still hook it up?

[FestYboy]

yes, it's also a door alarm ground.

ummmmm...door alarm? Not trying to be smart alec but I have never heard a door alarm on any of the Festy's I have owned. Mine is a GL, the dome light works fine but there is no noise at all when the door is open.

[hofficergrover]

ok so i just want to know if i should hook it up because it aint now and if would cause some problems with electrical stuff i will hook them up

If the key is in the ignition it SHOULD buzz if a door is is open at a tone that if let go for more than 13.5 seconds causes people to either a) take there clothes off and run into a heavly wooded area or b) pull all of their hair out and assume the fetal position.

That being said....did only some years have this? Canadian models only? Ever one i have owned has buzzed. Maybe you have a wierd batch of no buzzers? or too many fireworks as a kid has left you unable to hear that specific tone?

Ive had to much coffee this morning.

[sodikartracer]

[hofficergrover]

I hear it....urge to kill rising....um *cough*..ok ..Mine gives that buzz that makes the passengers want to "pull all of their hair out and assume the fetal position." Is there a way to make it do the other one?

I have a tach, Is that it? I know there are some differences between tach and speedo's.

[GenevaDirt]

the tach dash will make a noise if I leave the lights one but I have had 6 Festy's I believe and I do not recall any of them ever buzzing when I have left the key in it. Believe me I test it everyday... I very rarely take my key out of my car....lol.

[Bathtub Tom]

My Kia Pride's got it.

Curiously, it stops when you take the key out, but doesn't sound if you replace the key!

[GenevaDirt]

SHHEEEESH!....get this, I got into my car today....key was still in it from the night before. I grabbed the steering wheel while the door was open and it began to buzz...I wiggled the wheel and it stopped...wiggled again and it started. I do not recall ever hearing this before.
