Disable door open / key in ignition chime/buzzer

Has anyone here had any luck locating the buzzer module / chime that goes off when the key is in the ignition and the door is open? I have a 1998 Land Cruiser that I've had since 1999 and I've tried to locate it several times over the years to no avail. I've searched and searched and so far I've heard of nobody that has ever found this pesky device.

Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

That's great news. Does anyone have a photo of the module that unplugs?

I pulled off the panel and don't see anything that just unplugs. I had a 80 series LC that had a small module in this same area that did just unplug but I sure don't see anything like this on this one.

Driver's side? Which side is that?
Also, some kick-panel parts moved side on the model update 2002/2003.

I located the buzzer. It's inside the instrument panel and easy to identify once you have the back cover off the panel. I disabled the speaker by cutting away the plastic housing and removing the metal speaker cone leaving the motor of the speaker in tact. Job takes about an hour if anyone else is annoyed by this buzzer like I am.

Cheers.
