Locate the rectancular box under the dash that contains
the buzzer and remove it from the car. On the box is a round buzzer. Pop the cap of the buzzer and remove the thin metal vibrating disk. Put it all back together and
reinstall. No more buzzer!

Take the little wires coming out of the back of the little push-in switches in the door-jambs, and cut 'em off.... done... no more buzzer.... OR light

Uh....no . The following method is far easier than removing the CPU flasher box. Here's the way I did it:

Take off the steering column surround plastic and locate the ignition key switch. Stick your head around the back and you'll notice a white (may be faded on yours) little box with two wires coming out of it. The wires should be in a black insulator. Follow these two wires down the steering column until you come to all the brown connectors. In the general area, you'll spot a white connector with a green wire and a red/yellow stripe wire connecting to a blue/yellow stripe wire and a green wire. To disable the buzzer, unplug this connection. Success! No more buzzer!

The good thing about my method is that you can restore it back to its original functionality if you wanted to.

I removed one screw from teh door switch and put a large washer under it. Then I tightened the screw. If I want the light, I'll turn it on myself. If my passenger door is open, I wanna know.
