Now that the speedometer is out, I can silence the annoying**** buzzer.

It sits on top of a circuit board, and I have no access to the other
side (because there are 4 needle meters*** mounted to the same pcb whose
needles are on shafts that go alll t he way to the other side.

If you were me, or better yet if you were you, would you

a) stuff cloth in the little hole in the piezo buzzer to make the
noise lower, hopefully much lower


I'd stuff the hole in he buzzer with some DumDum


I'd never heard of them, but I see that they sell them at the
supermarket I'm going to later today!

Maybe I'll try that or something similar and then test it, and if it's
quiet enough I'll skip step b.


b) destory the buzzer from the top. (Will this cause trouble.)

c) after it's destroyed, attach wires that go below the dash so if I
find I made a big mistake, I can connect another buzzer, at least
temporarily.
