Running lights alarm stopped working
I was replacing some mini light bulbs for the running lights. A few of the running light fuses blew in the process when checking the sockets to make sure they still worked. When I replaced the fuses each time the alarm for the running lights being on when the door is open would go off, So I assume they are linked to the same fuse. I finished the job and the next day noticed when the lights are on and the door is opened, no alarm sound, I checked the fuse and it is still good or else the light would not work. Any idea what cause the lights alarm to stop working, perhaps its linked to another fuse, and how do I repair it? Thank you.

Sound The Alarm !
The Audio Alarm Assembly is powered thru 2 fuses.
The ACC fuse, and the GAGES fuse.
Does the alarm sound for seat belt warning?

Re: Running lights alarm stopped working
I was informed I might have blown the buzzer. I did not notice it before you you are right now the seat belt alarm is not sounding as well. I will cehck the other fuses as you mentioned and let you know what happens. If the seat belt alarm is not working is it something else as well? Thank you.

Gain access to the alarm.
Use a voltmeter or test light (the type for testing for voltage, not a continuity tester).
With the ignition key NOT in the ignition probe the orange wire.
There is supposed to be power there at all times.
Then turn on the marker lights (formerly known as “parking” lights) and probe the brown wire.
There will be power there if that circuit is OK.
So, if there is power in both of those places the alarm sounder is defective.

To gain access to the Audio Alarm Assembly remove the knee bolster.
You’ll find the Audio Alarm Assembly in the ‘Convenience Center’, which is to the right of the steering column.

Re: Running lights alarm stopped working
I checked the fuses like you said and it was not the ACC or the gages fuse. SO I decided what the hack lets check them all and it was the stop/haz fuse that was blown as well. That fixed my issue thank you for your help.
