door chime disable

[jtinlbc]

I had to do some work on my steering column, and now the door chime is working again.
How do I turn this off?
I did it before by turning the key on & off, or by turning the headlights off and on.

I have heard the key thing. When you get it figured out let me know.

if you want to disable it from dinging when the keys are in the ignition while the doors are open, all you have to do is take the bottom trim off the column (3 screws) and unplug the little connector on the keyswitch. wrap it with some electrical tape so it wont ground out and tuck it away and replace the trim. This is what I have done. still dings if the lights are on etc.. but now I can leave the door open with the radio on and no more dinging.

I will have to try that too.

Even more simple fix.

Just inset the key into the ignition

Turn to run position

Using a thin screwdriver/rod/pen inset etc... to reach in the access hole in bottom of column cover, depress the detent in the ingition cylinder.

Pull the cylinder out

Then remove the "key in" tab from the cylinder.

Replace the the cylinder into column.


All done, no more ding.

Takes less than a minute once you've done it a few times.
