106km/h speed chime..

[Cakky]

Not the funnest thing to be listening to when your travelling on the open road!!

Could someone point me in the way of a site that instructs how to remove it? Or would someone be able to tell me how to do it.

car is an ae92 gt sedan.

thanks

Im guessing it will be the same as various others I have removed from toyotas and is located behind the speedo (attached to the main gauge assembly). Basically, to totally get rid of it, unscrew all the bits to get to it and it will be a little box attached with probably two nuts, which also go to the printed board.
Fairly simple really, just make sure you plug att the bits and pieces back in when you screw it together.

if you're feeling really lazy you can just remove the instrument cluster and cut the wire that goes to the big silver box on the back, and it's done

nah, real lazy is just turning up the stereo...

wouldnt the easiest way to stop it chiming be not to speed???

BE careful when removing it, a mate did his then his speedo stopped working altogether

That would be because he forgot to put back in the screws... the screws are needed to carry the current and complete the circuit

In my fabulous Toyspeed Taxi (SX61, Mark II Cressida) the chime stopped working after a couple of long (sort of/nearly) fast trips it just gave up making the noise. It would make a half hearted ding noise about every 5 minutes... must have burnt it out!
God I miss that car... anyone have a pic of it from Toytspeed Quenns Birthday Meet in Taupo 2003?
It had a big shark fin on the roof, flames on the bonnet, about 7 aerials and a double bumper/splitter that would drag on the ground when you hit the brakes!

By removing the box or cutting the wires, im my experience the speedo "sticks" at 106, and jumps to 120.
The best thing i have found to do, although its not the easiest is to remove the instrument cluster and then pull appart the box, inside there will be a pin that through eletromagnetic force slams back and foward into two plates making a "ding sound" take the pin out, leave the whole thing together and with all the wires attached put the cluster back.
No ding, no sticking. problem solved!.

must depend on the model/type- ive done quite afew over the years and have never had that issue.
