Mine's unplugged because I can't stand the rasp, but I could probably live with the chime. That's cooler. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan to relocate the module so that it is easier to replace, so that I can swap them out when I get tired of them. The best buzzer trucks are the 80-82 trucks. The headlight on buzzer is a separate buzzer, so on trucks equipped with that option, you can actually hear two buzzers. And if one is out of tune, oh man does it get annoying quick.

BullnoseLuvr Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 Yes, you're unnecessarily enthusiastic about something most of us unplug at the first opportunity. But the later chime is MUCH less irritating. Nonetheless, I'm glad you are happy with the result! Chimes are for wimps. As sure as I have manly hair on my chest by god my Bullnose will have a proper buzzer -- one that makes the unwitting want to pierce their ear drums with scratch awls. And if one is good two out of tune is better, so when I fix my seat belt switch I'll always start my truck before buckling up. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_S85 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I was grinning like a fool as soon as I read the title. Didn't expect it to actually sound that good either. No kidding - I remember buying some hacked up usb connector for my first cell phone to make it have ringtones that sounded worse than that. I likely wouldn't keep it long (kind of like how using a song as an alarm ruins the song) but it would be fun to have. Yep, the guy used an 8-bit version of the song which is what I think made it so much better. There is a youtube channel I follow they do live 8-bit music via their online radio station. There are a few that I would like to have as the chime on mine but its been so long since I messed with my truck I dont remember if I have both buzzers or not. I think I just have the seat belt buzzer as I dont have the light group harness and I had to make my own for the clock I added I remember. So for me my buzzer only buzzes when the key is turned on for a few seconds then the seat belt light goes out and the buzzer is off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get to work 99% of the time when it is still dark out so no way I would forget the head lights were left on. I only had a buzzer work once, think it was the seatbelt? and thought it was cool but have not heard it since then I don't plan on pulling the dash apart on my truck just to install buzzers and I would need to track some down to start with.

Dave ---- When I had my dash out for a major re-weld of the sub structure I just plugged everything back in without thinking when re-installed.😵 It didn't take but a minute for me to get at that plug!

LARIAT 85 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 The best buzzer trucks are the 80-82 trucks. The headlight on buzzer is a separate buzzer, so on trucks equipped with that option, you can actually hear two buzzers. And if one is out of tune, oh man does it get annoying quick. There are still two buzzers in the later 1983 - 1986 trucks; they are just combined into one unit. If I have the key in the ignition (headlights off) and open the door, I hear a buzzer. If I leave the door open and turn the key forward to the RUN position - and the seatbelt is unbuckled - I also hear a *second* buzzer go off and the FASTEN BELTS light on the dash turns on. But like Mark said - it is MANLY. I reminds me of one of those disturbing B-movie horror movies or a low budget 1970s porn flick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not know that, I figured the same buzz went off regardless, and maybe just increased in volume. Good to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave ---- The buzzer on the '83 up is easy to reach through the top of the glove box. I don't know about the earlier trucks. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
