What's the best way to eliminate the key buzzer on a '72 SSP? Does it function in connection with any other electrical circuits? Thank you.
 
I've disconnected evey freaking buzzer on every Mopar I've had up to 1995 and it's never affected anything else....
 
Unfortunately, in my case after having removed the source of the buzzing, a four pin module that plugs into the fuse block, I lost complete function of the horns. Back to the drawing board. The module has circuits numbered #1 thru #5, it looks like #4 is blank (no pin at that location).
 
Open it by bending the prongs to remove the cover then snip the copper wire from one of the prongs to the small transformer inside.
 
OK I will try disable by cutting on of those wires. But now I notice a another small module is HOT to the touch with the engine and ignition off. It is not the turn signal or emergency flasher--it has a three prong connection 1) the pink wire is always hot; 2) it has a yellow wire; and 3) it has a yellow wire with what I believe is a black stripe. It is located right under the steering column under the dash. I unplugged it and the motor started and ran. I wonder what this thing is?
UPDATE: According to the wiring diagram, the module with the pink, yellow, and yellow-black stripe belongs to the "ignition switch lamp time delay relay wiring" (try saying that five times in a row!).

There are 4 total terminals on the horn relay/key buzzer, three grouped together at one end and a single terminal off by itself. That is the one to disable. Easiest way is to remove the corresponding female connector from the fuse block and tape it off. If you have to cut something that’s the wire, small & black .
The key switch time belay relay will generate heat with the driver’s door open, normal.

There are two small red wires going to the steering column in the ignition section (connector with the big red, yellow, brown etc. wires). Pop them out of the connector on the column side and stow them: that is the key in switch. The circuit is disabled because that switch completes the circuit. If in the future you want the sell to a purist, just pop the connectors back in and the buzzer will work. No need to beat the fuse block up or damage the relay.
 
Beat the fuse block? Two clips release the fuse block from the bulkhead connector, the single Packard female terminal can be easily removed with common jeweler’s screwdriver. The key switch leads on the ignition switch connector require the correct size Molex pin extraction tool to properly remove from the connector, they don’t “pop-out” intact without one.
 
Or, you could pull the key out.

Don't leave the key in with the door open! LOL Its funny how many people want to get rid of the buzzers, I actually did the opposite, and found and reinstalled all the buzzers on my car, key, seatbelt, and lights on reminder buzzers. I guess am weird that way!
 
I am driving the car around without any doors attached while the body work is being done, so the buzzing was annoying. Besides, if I leave the key in the ignition, it's because I want it there.
