Need to muffle the back up alarm.
I have a 2002 DS. It is a series cart. I am using this cart for my hunt lease. I want to muffle the back up alarm so it is not as loud. Can anyone tell me where it is located. (I think, somewhere near the f&R switch....

Re: Need to muffle the back up alarm.
Any other suggestions? Based on other posts, looks like many people don't recommend shuting it off. I understand why, and I don't think it will be much of a safety issue for my use, but I am OK if I can just lower the volume. Any pics out there of what the thing looks like?
Thanks |

Re: Need to muffle the back up alarm.
Locate the offending buzzer and lightly stuff the "hole" with cotton ball or paper towel until you achieve the desired volume. I appreciate the safety of the buzzer, but don't need to be reminded as loudly as my mother used to tell me to clean my room.

Re: Need to muffle the back up alarm.
LOL, I put a foam earplug in it and then tape it up on top of that.... If used for hunting, a switch on one of the leads might be appropriate for the few weeks of a year when you want silence....

Love the foam ear plug idea! Love your meter as well.

Re: Need to muffle the back up alarm.
Just happen to have a grip of those plugs you roll them between the finger and thumb to compress them then insert into the hole and let it expand - whala
Still needs tape though, they are loud! Glad you like the meter |

Scotty,
Can you snap a picture of the alarm, with and without the ear plug? I just want to see what it looks like so I don't mess with the wrong thing.... Thanks |

Re: Need to muffle the back up alarm.
Sorry no, carts come and go here. The buzzer is usually 1.5 " round, black, making noise thing under the seat or behind the dash depending... follow your ear.

Re: Need to muffle the back up alarm.
I have a 2009 precedent and the buzzer is located behind the dash close to the key switch. Three torque screws and the dash slides open. I unplugged the ground wire to the buzzer and taped it up good then wire tied the ground cable to another cable so it wouldnt flop around. Thats the first thing I did when I got the cart because I back up a lot of trailers and couldnt handle the noise. My old cart was a 2002 ezgo and I did the same thing. Good to go.
