Where is the fershluginer 240 door chime? I hate it. 200 1993

I searched here and found a couple of threads about defeating it. I learned that it's blue, and can be safely unplugged if you are an organized person who does not require that your car be a nanny.

I pulled the kneepad and looked. I sure hear it, but its sound is so piercing that I have trouble localizing it. And I see no blue device. I also pulled the cover over the heater console by the accelerator pedal. No luck.

Does anyone have a pic of it? I have a daughter who is smaller than me and hears much better. I'll have her take a peek tomorrow.

    A younger, smaller member of our family finally found it. The sound is piercing, and for all of us it tended to defy audible location.

    Waaaaaay up near the base of the windshield, above the pedals, the loathsome blue box with many blade connections lurked.

    Now it's gone, out of our car, and calm has returned.

    So look high on 1993s, Volvo really buried it up there.

      Hi Reno,

      I hope you're in compliance with Texas child labor laws (If any).
      I need to rent a kid to put in a new heater core, what's the rates?

      Bill

      Borrowing a pic from one of Art's posts...I assume it is the same in a '93 but I have been wrong about '93 equipment in the past.Don't know why they would change this, though.

      Hi,

      It’s on top of the steering column above the foot pedals in fact it’s tightly fastened with a metal clip under there. Harder to get put back in place so I leave it parked within the harness area.
      If you have cruise control it will be near that black or silver box, as I remember?
      Last one I saw was blue in color. It has an opening on one side to let sound out.

      Do not disable it but wrapping it with tape will deafen it down a whole lot.

      I use some dense black foam tape used as insulation for refrigeration piping to keep the pies from sweating. It was almost too much.
      It a case of wrap to suit a purpose, like Christmas packages, you know what’s in there.

      It best to leave in the car working as it’s a forgotten key reminder.
      I agree it’s to darn loud and I’m a little hard of hearing, even with my hearing aids off but I’m working on misplacing things. 🤔

      Phil

      Hi __?__,

      What's your email? I'll send you the 93 240 wiring manual
      It has a pictorial showing what it looks like and where it is.

      This car is for your daughter?
      I suggest that you leave the seat belt chime enabled after you're done.
      It's a safety feature and not a liability.
      Just yesterday someone was killed in the Boston area in a crash
      where they were flung from the car. Someone else I know went into the
      windshield in an accident with no seat belt.

      Good luck with that rebuild job, Bill
