How to stop 5 beep nightmare?

5-beeps, pause, repeat - in case abnormality of steering sensor signal: Steering sensor is mis-aligned or failed or steering wheel has been improperly installed.

- FAQ


I installed a aftermarked steering wheel, and that is why it gives me hell. However the steering wheel has been properly installed and is aligned with the markers.

So my question is. How do i disable the horrible 5 beep alarm which is on a constant repeat when driving in normal speed?

I cannot locate the speaker because it stop beeping when driving slow and standing still.




Please no answers like "don't disable it". That is a waste of time for everyone. I know i shouldn't disable it. But this **** is making me crazy and steering is just fine. I need a temporary "fix" until can fix it properly. If you know where this speaker is and how to disable it i would be ever grateful.


Thanks

Disable it. There's a white plastic connector under the steering column or near the steering column. From what I recall it is flat and kind of long. Multi pin connector. Just unplug that and the beeping will be history. It's been so long that I last did this so I don't recall exactly which plug it is.

There is one long white connector connected to a silver metallic box slightly to the door side of the steering column? That the one you are thinking about?
