red dave Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 which bit do I take off or which wire do I cut to get rid of beeping,started to here it in my sleep!!! ECU 3 2003 K series standard dash help please as the hammers out to sort it. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shn7 Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Dave, It's built into the loom under the dash. Small (about 10mm dia) round black plastic thingy. No idea whether it will stop the indicators working if you snip one of the wires though. I guess you could cut both and connect them together and that might work. Probably quite hard to see/find without removing the scuttle. Usual caveats. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V7 SLR Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 What beeper? I've heard this is the first sign of madness... hearing beeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Ah that beeper ! As the steering wheel on my car is too small for my daughter to turn at low speeds without going to a gym several times a week I hired a car from Caterham for her birthday a few weeks ago. Normally she's quite demure... after not too many turnings we were both shouting 'that bl**dy beeping is driving me nuts!' Take a chainsaw to it Dave 😬 😬 😬 Brrrrrrrrr.....

shn7 Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 V7, Introduced on later models than your car. My 2001 Academy car didn't have it but the new loom I bought last november (2003) does. And when I finally get my current car on the road I'm sure the beeper will be thoroughly irritating. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you could cut both and connect them together and that might work.NOOOOOO... DO NOT CUT THEM AND JOIN THE TWO ENDS TOGETHER. You will blow the fuse when you operate the indicators as you will have just joined +12v to earth. Simply snip ONE of the wires to the beeper and tape the cut ends out of the way.

shn7 Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 I stand with head bowed to the greater knowledge present before us. In mitigation I did say I was guessing 😬 Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dave Posted June 20, 2004 Author Share Posted June 20, 2004 Can't seem to find beeper ❗ ❗ ❗ traced niose back to fuse box, the thingy that seems to make the niose appears to be the black box behind the fuse for indicator 🤔 🤔 🤔 take it out and no beep 😬 also no indicator *mad* problem solved see for sale section " MOMO QUICK RELEASE WHEEL" if you don't go round the bend you stop hearing the beeps *confused* Just off to take the toaster for a walk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Walker Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Just tape over the end of the bleeper the noise will be massively reduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shn7 Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Dave, That'll be the relay you just removed. Are you certain the noise comes from that area? On my loom the beeper is just right of centre (facing forwards). Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron_F Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 OK, give up I've just spent 20 minutes upside down with my head in first the passenger and then the driver's footwell. Despite hearing that da*mn beep from apparently everywhere, I still can't find the said "little black thing" *mad* In order to save my poor bent back from any more punishment, could I request a little more descriptive information? What colour wires go to it and which instrument/switch is nearest? Any further assistance would be greatly appreciated. still slightly dizzy Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shn7 Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Ron, It's about 3-4 inches to the right (looking forwards) of the centre line closely tied into the main bundle the wiring loom. If it happens to be on top of the bundle or wires then no amount of contortionism will let you see it (without removing the scuttle). Try running your fingers along the bundle. If that doesn't work I expect to have my scuttle off again later tonight (or maybe tromorrow evening) and can give a more precise location and wire colours. Steve.

gavinp Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 OK, how do i add a beeper to my SLR! Superlight R #41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris W Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Gavin Simply wire it in parallel to the dashboard indicator light. Some beepers are directional (ie: one side is + and one side -). You should be able to make out which side of the indicator light is connected to ground. It just won't work the wrong way round if it is directional.

shn7 Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Right, update on the precise position. Having installed a new loom into my car the beeper sits in the main bundle above the right hand side of the wiper switch. I can't tell the wire colours as they are heat shrinked and this disappears into the bundle. I can say that it's very hard to find just by feeling under the dash but easy to spot witht he scuttle off. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron_F Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Steve, Thanks a lot for the description, I'll probably have another go this evening (depending on how we do in Portugal!). Jan, I've had my SV just over a year, and the beeper gets more annoying not less ☹️ cheers Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shn7 Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Ron, Access might be easier if you remove the (one block and 2 spade) connectors from the wiper switch and pop the switch out of the dash. Good luck. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron_F Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Found it Covered the end with a small piece of tape Blissful silence Steve, Thanks a lot for your description which led me straight to it. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john aston Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 And there was me thinking that the installation of my new loom coincided with omnipresent reversing trucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelpugh Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Sorry for the thread resurrection from over 10 years ago, but does anyone have any pictures of more detail on the beepers location?Its been driving me crazy of my new Superlight Twenty, it's getting to be so annoying I am trying not to use the indicatiors at all, so it needs to be silenced!As per this threads, and advice on Pistonheads too, I have searched for the beeper all under the dash but can not find it anywhere.i have taken the Rev counter, speedo and washer and wiper switches out, as some people say it makes it easier to locate it, all to no avail.Its made harder by the fact that the noise is so high pitched, it seems to come from everywhere under the dash, but not a place that's easy to identify!So if anyone has any tips on how to find it, or silence it any way, they would be most appreciated.
