What is the name of the component that makes the "chirp" sound when you lock the vehicle? Mines gone

    So my drivers side fender liner got ripped out a few weeks ago, and then a few weeks later I heard a THUNK and saw a piece of debris roll away in my back mirror.

    Now, it's pretty clear that it was the component that makes the "beep beep" sound when you lock or unlock the doors. Anyone know what it's called so I can look it up and replace it? Hopefully that was what fell out, without damage to the wiring harness.

    Get one at a wrecking yard... I bet if you researched it, you'd find it's standard across lots of different Toyota models.

    Also, this is a good example of fixing things that break right away before more stuff breaks because of what was broken.
