Did the 77 corvettes have key warning buzzards and where was the control located on a july built car?

GM says it did. However, by very late 1977 I suppose things could have changed. In any event, GM says the buzzer was GM #6262663. It's GM-discontinued but not too hard to find. I do not know where it was located on the car.

Frank-

My 1977 key buzzer module plugs into the right hand side of the fuse block. It's black and it's about 1/2" thick. My car build date is Nov. 76.

Re: Key Buzzer

I attached a photo to my earlier response. It's smaller than a pack of cigarettes.

Re: Key Buzzer

My June 22, 1977 has the same buzzer and location as Frank's early 1977.

Re: Key Buzzer

I checked it out and I was wondering is there any vendor who could repair it? I checked the control board out and saw no traces of burnt or carbon deposits. With Radio Shack going out of business I can not trace the components values (resisyors capacitor) etc Is there any part that would interchange with this from prior years?

I finally dug this one out [not for sale]. This is what you're looking for but it's quite difficult to find. I do not know if these can be repaired.

Re: Key Buzzer

It is made in Canada. I should visit a couple of Chevy dealers in my area may be I can get lucky. Another avenue is to read value on each component and use a meter to ring out for continuity. If I had a schematic that would make troubleshooting quicker. It is funny that no one wants to repair these items because the later cars are loaded with boards that could be soldered and sucker out for repair. Another problem is with Radio Shack on its way out were do we find the components? The people in Canada probably sourced this out Thanks for your input
