It only took me 6 years to finally get rid of the annoying open door beeper on my 06.
I unscrewed and unplugged the four spring loaded buttons, taped up the connectors, and taped them again over the small switch openings, so they would not fall down into the cavity. Success!
I turned the motor on and no new warning lights. Yet? haha Yea. Time will tell if a problem shows up, but in the meantime, I cannot believe it took me so long to do something so easy.
On a non-related improvement, I recently found a brand new larger overhead 12v dual light above the front seats at a resource store for $3. The factory light was so dim as to be irrelevant, even after I changed the bulbs to the brightest LEDs I could find that would fit. The difference is huge. These bulbs are not LEDs and I will be looking for those. The new bulbs are about the size of regular auto taillight bulbs. The switch turns on the drivers side first and then both in conjunction. The light fixture itself is about 5" by 12" and fits between the padded and insulated ceiling shelf panels perfectly. Another plus is there were only two wires from the new fixture, compared to factory light that had around eight. The factory fixture would not work without the key turned on to accessory. This new fixture works without the key.
Such small things can make a difference sometimes. Thanks to all here.
