Trying to turn off this aggravating dinging (chime) that you hear when you open the door with the key in ignition,and heaven forbid the seat belt reminder.I have had all I can stand and on the verge of trading for any kind of truck without that awful dinging.Owners manual says it has a high and low setting but not a off setting.Anyone had any expierence with this or know of a way around this .Checked with the techs at the dealership that I bought it from and they laughed and said sorry. It may not bother some people but it annoys the hell outta me. I am at wits end with this. Thanks

 

Lol I thought Fords were bad about that. Look for the bell under the dash and just disconnect the wire to it.

 

It comes through the radio speakers.

 

i think its built into the radio. there is no way to turn it off. you can replace the factory radio with an aftermarket and not get the $100 piece that retains the door chimes, but you woul also loose onstar and the retained accessory power.

 

I got it. I unhooked the left front speaker and that took care of it. Thanks for the replys

 

What I did on my 92 is I disconnected the seat belt sensor under the seat and I put a peice of tape over the door sensor so it never knows when the door is open or not. The other thing I have gotten in the habit of doing about it on my moms 06 is I pull the key out a fraction of an inch but leave it in the ignition... It takes care of the dinging
