Default Buzzer driving me crazy

I'v been having an intermittent issue that is becoming not so intermittent. This is on a '95 DI. When the truck is in Park or Neutral this buzzer sounds. It sounds like the neutral buzzer form the transfer case but it does not matter if transfer case is in neutral or not. Initially it would just do it occasionally and then stop again. But now it's starting to buzz more than not and it's really starting to get to me.

When you shifting the truck into R, D, 3, 2, or 1 it will stop buzzing. When shifting back into P or N it will start to buzz again. The really odd thing is sometimes it will only buzz when the door is open and stop when you close the door. Others it will buzz all the time until you shut off the truck. Today it started to buzz while I had my foot on the brake and stopped when I took my foot off. But then it started to buzz again non stop.

I would think it was related to the Neutral Safety switch. But find it odd that the brake and door will also trigger it. Has anybody seen this happen? Is there a way to disconnect the buzzer? Would by passing the neutral safety switch turn off the buzzer?

Anybody have any thoughs?

My only thought is, I've never heard a single buzzer since rehabbing my 97....I guess I'm one up!

It might be a '95 thing. In the 9-10 years I had my '97 I only heard the buzzer 1-2 times while the TC was in Neutral.

E201 is the ground your looking for and it's behind the driver's side footwell kick panel. You'll find several black wires parked on that lug, check to see if there's corrosion.

Thanks, I'll check that one. I was looking at this in RAVE and there is all kinds of stuff tied into this circuit and I think the MFU might also play into it.

I did find an relatively easy by pass for the neutral switch that I might try if I can't do it otherwise.

Cool, if you can let me know what you unplugged that would be great. Tried to chase it down again today and it's still doing it.
