How I Stopped The "Ding Dings" With The Driver's Door Open

Hi there,

To stop the “Ding Ding” I fitted a small “Rocker Switch” ( from Jaycar) in the “B Pillar”, which allows me to select wether or not I want the “Ding Dings” to operate.

The “Rocker Switch” fits reasonably flush with the pillar trim, less chance of being bumped accidentally.

A couple of tips:-

Cut the existing door switch wire as far from the switch as possible, so the wiring doesn’t foul the seat belt behind the “B Pillar Panel”.

Solder the joints & cover with “Shrink Spaghetti”.

Fit the switch far enough towards the back of the pillar so it doesn’t foul the seat belt.

This is not my idea, Phil, who I met at Charters Towers a few months ago gave it to me & it works a treat.

Please be advised that if the Driver's Door Light Switch is deactivated, the Headlights WILL NOT SWITCH OFF when the Driver's Door is opened.

Yeah you can just join the wires for the switch too which is what we usually do on tractor seats and things to kill the dead mans switch.

I've taped mine up with duct tape at the moment.

if you put [img] and [/img] on either side of your links the pictures will display in this thread.
