Neither of my trucks chime/ding when the sunroof is open, regardless of position.
Mine shut off automagically when I open the door after removing the key.
maybe it's because my alarm system is no longer present?
Both mine have the standard RS3000 alarm.
When CJF rode with me it really tripped him out.
Finally got around to doing this mod today 
The buzzer box was a bit more well hidden than I had thought (had to remove the headlamp module and transmission controller box to get to it), but I still managed to get it done in about 20 minutes
Now I can finally watch DVD's with the doors open and not hear that stupid buzzer ;p

Disabled the buzzer this way on my 93 today. Been wanting too for years. Did this to my 1983 Subaru Thanksgiving weekend 1992 (that's how memorable it was) so fitting to continue the holiday tradition. I had the dash all apart for an electrical gremlin anyway. Thanks for this post!

Dan, didn't I buy some FJ-60 parts from you when I lived in CoSpgs from the one you totalled? It's a small cruiser world 
I feel Chimeless!!! 
LMAO, love these zombie threads.
Of course, now I have to go check for buzzes and chimes....kind of like an Airplane movie, Roger?

Just did this on my '91, thanks OP! On the '91 the box was tan in color and had a different connector, but it was in the same location. The speaker also had normal wire running to it off the board, so I just cut those.
There is no chime (ever) on my bone stock 97 LX either
I couldn't even see it buried under all the other modules. I guess I'll take them out as you did because I really need to do disable the buzzer! I've tied all my door switches together so all the lights come on along with the buzzer no matter what door you open.
I decided to remove the chime on my 91. I found the offending box in the drivers side kick panel it says seatbelt warning on it. This box is the source of my chime but it is different than these blue ones. I opened it but cannot remove the circuit board to cut the speaker wire. Does anyone know if I can just cut a wire going into the box or will that cause other issues. I am an electrical noob. Here are some pics, thanks
Never mind I was able to lightly tap the box on the counter and the circuit board slowly worked its way out. It was basically pressure fit in there.
Also this was super easy to access, I didn't have to move anything to access it, just remove the kick panel and unbolt.

Putting some masking tape over the speaker and putting it back in cuts the noise in half. That way it still warns you but isn't near as annoying.
