Often, as well as triggering the beeper, that switch is used to disable the remote locking if the key is in the ignition. You never notice until that switch breaks and you wonder why the car won't lock! (because you have to be holding the key to press the button, so it is never in the ignition)
You might be able to lock yourself out of the car if you try really hard while the engine is running- maybe closing the door with the handle up could trigger it
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

I followed that link today as mine was being particularly irritating this morning, and it occurs to me that it is the "key in the ignition" switch you are disconnecting.Good so it's just like the 3s and doesn't seem to upset the rest of the car. Excellent.
