how would i go about permanently disabling the door chime? i'd like to be able to listen to the radio with the doors open and the key in ACC. more specifically, where is the chime located and what wire do i cut? thanks

 

The procedure is in your manual.... a combination of key turns and seat belt maneuvering. You have to be fast and it'll take more than one attempt unless you memorize the process

 

i knew it

there's so many of them i can't keep track of them all. i'll report back...

 

grab a bic pen [or stick of some sort], with the door open, use the pen to trip the door latch so the latch is in the locked position... the dinger will stop... just make sure to open the latch before trying to shut the door...

 

geez, reminds me of an old truck I had, when I was running rough, you hit the dash twice, the steerign wheel once, stomp the floor followed by another crack at the dash, two quick pumps of the gas and a few choice words not fit for young viewers and it would run fine...

edit, btw, pull the switch from the body, disconnect the ground wire from it and you will not have that problem. but you interior light wont come on automatically either.

 

If you think the dodge door chime disable is tough, you should see the procedure for my Ford Focus. It's 2 pages long!

 

so does anyone know what page it is in the manual? i cant find it thanks

 

not sure what page, but it's under the seatbelt part of the manual

let me know if you find it, i just read the entire section and did not see anything about disabling the door chime, only the seatbelt chime.

 

give me a second...i had to PROVE to somebody that it was in there. so i scanned and saved it, let me dig it up!!

That's for the seatbelt chime, but that doesn't deactivate the door chime.

 

ahh...what a dummy, guess it would help if i read the threads better!!

....to disable the seatbelt chime, you can also plug the middle seatbelt end into the driver's receptacle. I've done that because I didn't have enough patience to get the procedure in the manual to work. One of these days I'll try again though.

If anyone knows how to disable that door chime though, that would be great!
