I like the chime as a reminder that I forgot to turn off my headlights, but it drives me bonkers if I'm trying to fix something with the door open or dome light on and it chimes away. Is the chime connected to the door or to the domelight? How can I keep it working for my headlamps but disconnect it from my door/domelight?

 

take your keys out of the ignition then it won't chime with doors open

 

take the fuse out of the fuse box.thats what i do if i got the door open for more than a few minuets.

 

I think just taking the key out of the ignition would work. o.O

 

The chime comes on to remind you that you left your lights on when exiting the vehicle--no key in the ignition.

 

On my car there was a little buzzer under the glove compartment, so i unplugged it. Problem solved.

 

That's funny how we all have our different tolerance levels and things that we find annoying.

The chime drives you nuts but I actually added one to our 1965 Belvedere. It came from the factory without any headlight on warning. I found an aftermarket buzzer. It actually is very annoying but I chose it over something I find even more annoying and that's a dead battery from leaving the headlights on.

 

After working on cars for 25 years, I can listen to one going off while doing a repair inside the vehicle. Guess I have just gotten used to it. Doesn't phase me a bit.

 

lol not me, some of them drive me nuts

 

I unplugged the chimer, but am concerned about accidently draining the battery. That chimer is louder than any I've heard. Maybe I can find an aftermarket that's a bit different or figure out which wire goes to the door and disconnect it.
