How to: Replacing warning/indicator sounder/ buzzer

[Toffermora]

Right so my speaker/ sounder/buzzer, whatever you want to call it has not worked in my van since I bought it. Never bothered me that much until the other day when I left my sidelights on all day and nearly killed my battery. So I found the relevant part on ebay and following some youtube videos replaced it.


Here is a little walkthrough of what to do if you want to do the same.

Tools required: trim removal tool, torx t8, t20, some kind of small prybar or similar.

First off I ordered a replacement speaker from ebay: Instrument cluster buzzer

Then I followed this video to remove the dash trim and instrument cluster: Instrument cluster removal

Following that I took my dials into my kitchen and laid it on a teatowel to protect them a little and followed another youtube video: Warning buzzer replacement

Then its just a case of putting it all back!

Probably took me an hour as I was being careful and while it was all apart I gave bits of the dash a clean you can't usually get to and removed the dead fly from the dials!

Thanx.

Awesome, thank you. I’ll now have the confidence to give this a try. As someone who hates people who drive along with the indicators still on, I realise I’m now one of those people!

All done and can confirm it’s a pretty easy job. Couldn’t have attempted it without the confidence from following in someone else’s footsteps and the helpful videos above. kudos to @Toffermora ! Many thanks.

This problem just happened to me.
Does anyone know if it's an MOT failure?
