HDJ 81 BeepBeepBeep

[sailor]

When I select reverse on my '91 there is a beeping sound inside the vehicle. Is this normal on these? Is it to remind me that I'm in reverse? Thought it might be one of those radar parking distance things but it isn't.

If it's a " radar parking distance thing " you should be able to find at least some leftovers. If it's only heard in the cab it might be. If it's loud outside, its just a warning beeper. Mine never made such sounds until I installed the " radar parking distance thing ".

BTW, I like my " radar parking distance thing ". It really helps when I have to saw my way out of a tight space.

Normal, just a interior back up alarm.

 

[millatruse]

Sounds like a plain old back up alarm..can you hear it from outside the vehicle?

It actually is to remind you that you are in reverse. You know like when the light turns from green straight to red and you skid though the crosswalk and then back up to the stopline. It reminds you to shift back to drive before the light turns green again and you back up over the hood of the Hyundai behind you. Personally, I like doing that so I'm going to hunt the beeper down and kill it.

 

[Gordopescado]

Sweet.

 

[wussyPup]

Normal...

They beep to tell us that we're in reverse, or we shut off the ignition leaving the sun-roof open. But, not a sound for: seat-belts undone, door ajar, head lights left on.

 

[sailor]

Awesome! Another mystery solved- Thanks.

Does anyone have the location of this fcking beeper? I am gonna rip it the hell out of my truck. I do not like hearing it while doing long backups (such as reaching the end of an overgrown trail and finding a bridge out, then having to back up for 1km) And I definitely don't need reminding that I'm in reverse.

Lmao, no but what about if you forget that your sunroof is open and it rains? will you call it a fxxxing beeper then

Would be interesting to know where it is though.

Cheers

That's the only quality function of that damn beeper... and that doesn't work for me! (the sunroof warning)

Hahaha I see your point then, I know LanceCruisers beeps no matter if the roof is open or not... I guess they just go haywire after awhile

Put the T.Case in N and the truck in reverse and hunt around, I don't think it would be buried that far into the dash.

That's a good idea, I hadn't thought of putting the t case into neutral.

When I find the damned thing I will post the location up in this thead

Just rediscovered this thread. That was a really funny thing I said..."you skid though the crosswalk ..." I was an HDJ81 noob then. I didn't know that HDJ81s can't do that without a brake upgrade.

 

[sailor]

Yep- thems were some early days...

 

[asutherland]

lowenbrau, did you ever end up finding it?

Haha... yes... I need about a city block to stop while doing 60.

i found the beeper while replacing the "D" light. its grafted to the back of the gauge cluster right above the trans position lights.

 

[BCR4619]

Well at least they made it easy to get to lol

 

[KIRUXA]

I am looking to remove mine on HDJ. I wonder, will my spare LX450 cluster swap out just as easily, and give me MPH?
