I have the same issue and my plan to disconnect the beeper. I have had enough of this nonsense.

Folks, getting rid of a symptom doesn't solve the problem. Problems in these rear latches can cause your battery to drain when the key is off. Not all the time but it's very common and you'll come out one morning to a dead battery. Disconnecting beepers, cutting cables, unplugging motors, etc. don't prevent the battery drain (if it's occuring) and you've wasted time and sometimes damaged parts that had nothing wrong with them.

Disconnecting the beeper bypasses a safety feature of an unlatched door, that could theoretically come open while driving. If you don't have kids riding back there it's probably not a huge issue but something that should be considered.

Dash does not show that the door is open. So it is false alarm. Or it is a borderline condition where minuscule misalignment causes a lot of pain. BUT the real problem is with the whole concept of beeping / buzzing which drives me insane. I have the same issue with electric tea kettle. Each button press produced "satisfying" beep. Not anymore, since I applied my trusty solder iron to that bloody piezo speaker. Off to the garbage if went. Same thing is happening to the door beeper soon.

I am not advocating unsafe practices, but since this beep is ignored anyways....you know my drift.
