LOCATION OF BUZZER?
« on: May 19, 2013, 01:53:31 AM »
Can anyone tell me where the Buzzer that sounds when the indicators are on is located on a 1978 Hondamatic?
Its dam annoying and I would like to disconnect it

If it's the same as the other CB's it's attached to the left fork ear..in beside the headlight.
'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Draw and drawer. Could care less/couldn't care less. Bought/brought FFS.

It is on the inside of the left fork ear between the ear and headlight. The wires go into the head light bucketand it can be disconnected easily by taking out the headlight and tugging on the wires to see where they go. I believe the wires to it are black and blue/yellow, or blue/orange. You will also lose the alarm if the parking brake is set.

Thank you for your responses.  I have already checked the headlight locations you suggest and there is not a buzzer there.  I have had another check today and the buzzer seems to be coming from somewhere around the battery. I have now found it, the buzzing is coming from the flasher unit - it has a buzzer built into the flasher. It still annoys me so I have wrapped it in some wadding to reduce the volume to a squeek.

Thanks for your input.

Then . . . you have a non-standard flasher unit.

If you don't like any noise at all, you can just replace it with another standard flasher unit.  You can use a "normal" two-prong unit from the auto parts store.
