door open chime

[C yar]

does anyone know how to get ride of the door chime when door is open and enigine is not running i.e when your working on the car with the door open .... tho i do still want the interior light to come on when the door is open

[Demon Dave]

remove the keys

The chime will only happen with the doors open, engine off and keys in the ignition...

even with the keys removed, you should still have the interior light on.

yeah i realise that, i want to stop this from happening tho so while im working on my car i dont have this noise

Find the wire connector under the steering wheel/dash area and disconnect it. problem solved!

[Guest RedLineGTR]

U can find the wire...if u know where to start...usally the buzzer is either beind the dash where all the speedo etc are housed on rear on the circut board. If not just pull the bottom cover off and have a listen to where its coming from thier are some boxs or items that look like that could be making the noise. The good thing is about the chime is that it beeps also when u leave your lights on and turn off the car, good reminder if u get distracted and u forget. Goodluck

thanks to all, i will have a look and disconnect the chime,

another option is to unscrew the little contacter on your door pillar (its like a spring loaded plunger with a rubber boot around it). This has a spring inside it which is the culprit. just open it up by taking off the rubber boot, poping of a few clips (make sure the wires don't fall down the hole when u have the contacter removed) and remove the spring.

chime gone!!!!!

The only down side to this is that the interior light doesn't come on for the drivers door automatically, but its easy enough to flick on manually. you don't have to do this for the passenger door, because for some reason only the drivers door activates a chime.

this way it doesn't effect the chime when you leave your lights on, which to me is important than having your door open.

Lethal_Locky: Make sure it doesn't affect the operation of your alarm (if you have one) if your going to leave it like that...

Most alarms have a door trigger...

just follow the chime noise and disconect it at the chimer. u dont even have to take the dash apart, just stick ur head at the bottom of the driverside dash and u will find the chimmer straight away if u follow the noise.

there is a plug just above the key barrel under the plastic cover. Just unplug it. it is as simple as that. the chimer also tells you when you have left the lights on so dont bother looking for the chimer. i unplugged mine because it is bloody annoying if you want to blast your stereo with the doors open.

why dont you just push in the rubber door open sensor thing, that way you dont run any risk.

Wouldn't he have to hold it if he did that?

On the Ford Laser we used to have, the beeping got really annoying, fixed by turning ignition to ON.

There was a fuse for it, but it was connected to the interior light too.

[Jimbo2000]

i mean a bit of tape or something

[jabtronic]

Well he could do that, but then again, he said he wants the light on when the door opens
