Default Deleting the chimer

My chimer goes off over 20 mph because of some work on my rear suspension removing the air bag pump. I would like to know where this chimer is at so I can disable it. It only goes off when I am driving and I don't want to hit a tree looking for it. I know it is in a circuit board and takes special care. Anybody know where that thing is?

The rear of the gauge cluster has a speaker on it, simply unplug it. Or get a SLABS unit that isn't programmed for SLS.

Yup, yup...or borrow any of the Disco programmers such as Hawkeye, TestBook, Lynx, Foxwell, et al to turn it off.

Default SLABS fix

I went through the RAVE and believe I have the easiest answer. On pg 827-828 is a diagram of the SLABS ECU. The connector C0655 has a pin no. 7 which is the output to the audible warning chime.

I will just clip it.

Default It worked

Spent 10 minutes. Pulled the glove box. Yanked the second connector on the slabs and snipped the wire for pin 7. Easy peasy

Plus the time to look up the diagram, and you haven't damaged any factory wiring that way.

Yeah on LR's I tend to leave the wiring alone. Older RRC/D1's were no goes if they were ever touched by Best Buy, or a bad audio/video/alarm shop. I don't care how nice the LR was I walked away.

The D2 I have sitting at my house (huge project for a friend) had a darn DVD installed and funny they tied it into the HVAC for power and guess what doesn't work right?
