Unhappy warning alarms

I need a wiring diagram to turn off some of the warning alarms that annoy the blazes out of me,
The only one I find essential is the headlights left on alarm. the rest are driving me potty. I know when my seatbelt's not on and if the door is ajar and don't need the annoying noise.

You can't ask the service guys at Ford to do it? Just an idea...

worst of all is the reversing beep that came with mine.

Took it back next day to have it removed. Apparently it was a feature for "shipping" that was meant to be disabled during predelivery. Dealer sorted it out promptly for me though - no dramas, so I'd try them first.

Failing that, crank up the radio or pull out the wire cutters ....

No chance for the headlights reminder, the speaker that does the headlight on noise also does the indicator ticking, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster board.

I'm not sure if this is possible but if you cut the wire between the light switch and the BEM/dash, the noise will stop but the dash lights won't turn on.

This has got me thinking though, perhaps a relay or 2 can fix the prob.
ie: If the ignition is on, it charges a relay that turns on the circuit between the light switch and the BEM...
