Whenever I open the door to my civic, the door beep thing goes off, regardless of whether or not the key is in the ignition, is this normal? I can't seem to find any dead fuses, or anything. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

U or the previous owner have done some electrical to it to affect it.

Allllright... thanks Captain Obvious. Any ideas what? I'm a hardware technician and I'm usually pretty good at fixing these things, but I can't find where the noise is even coming from under the dash. This car is new to me, it was a gift from my mother-in-law (honestly she just wanted it out of her yard so she didn't look white trash).

There is a thread on here that tells you how to stop the door dinger. He is the link to the thread maybe this will help you out some.

It is probably your key cylinder/switch is sticking. My friend ahd the same problem in his nissan. You could take the steering column apart and find the culprit or just disable the buzzer. Personally I would find the real culprit.

same happens on our old accord. its the lock cylinder sticking. usually i can take the key and tap the outside around the keyhole a few times and it will pop back out and the beeping stops. just try banging around the key hole til you hear a click. i dont feel like fixing cause then we need new keys for everything. its easier to just give it a few taps.

I'll probably follow the previous thread that was posted up, but I was also thinking maybe a rubber mallet would work like what you described. not really into needless keying of the car if i don't have to. =)
