disabling beeps on power sliding doors

[paul600rr]

hi can you disable the bleeping noise when closing power sliding doors ????? cheers

 

[RussGT6]

Nope, I wish!!
The only way is switching to manual.

 

[paul600rr]

ok thanks glad its only quite but still annoying LOL

 

[Loz]

Where does the beeping come from?

 

[paul600rr]

not sure to be honest only opened them a few times today to show people as I've just picked my van up

 

[Pauly]

Its integral to the lock motor/mechanism in the back thats why it cant be disabled

 

[Loz]

But could be “modified”

 

[Pauly]

Quite possibly never actually looked at one properly

what to silent

 

[DaveyB]

If it emits a beep then there must be a speaker or pulse generator of sorts. Snippy snippy with a set of wire cutters me thinks

 

[paul600rr]

yeah be nice

 

[Pauly]

I think it was @StudleyGlass who looked at this in the past, something is telling me the buzzer is hiding inside the motor/mechanism

 

[StudleyGlass]

The beeps come from one of these boxes behind the rear panels . I have not tried to disable mine at all, they have never bothered me really but then i am a bit odd anyway

 

[paul600rr]

ok thanks ill seehow i get on

 

[RussGT6]

Had a look also, the plastic box the speaker is in is covered in holes, was thinking a bit of Silent Coat over it my do the trick.

 

[paul600rr]

is it in the raised plastic box on side panel near rear door as i have one each side so i assume motor is behind here is plastic box speaker box easy to get to ??

Yes, one side easier than the other, unbolts from internal panel, need to take full panels off for access.

 

[paul600rr]

i do have twin sliding doors so a motor each side ill take plastic cover off see what i can see

 

[RussGT6]

Same here, when you take the plastic cover off you will see the motor, I am sure you need to remove the whole side panel to unbolts the plastic boxes that house the electrics and speaker.

Careful with the control module on the bracket lower down its not cheap
