Its a 2000 ford explorer. The beeper that clangs when you open the door
with your keys in the ignition beeps even with out keys in the ignition. I
suspect it is a door switch, but I don't have a clue how to either verify
that or find it or replace it.

I would be fine with just unpluging the beeper before it drives me stark
raving insane!

any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Just to make sure..... you're sure it isn't the "you left your
headlights on and a door is open" beeper?

Thanks for the reply, Yes I wish it was that easy. I have had two different
shops look at it and cower away because its electrical. It shouldn't be a
big deal, I just can't figure out where the damm thing is! I have looked
under the dash and I hear it but can't find it. When I unplug the fuse for
it, it takes down my automatic windows.
