Lamp out
There's another thread on this subject. Seems the chime was coming on before any lights went out. Try changing the bulb on the other side. You're having an indication of a bulb being out before it is... from the thread this fixed the other one. Could be resistance and not just continuity being checked for the reading.

Pull the rear bulbs paying close attention to the base of the bulbs. You may find the terminals melted into the plastic base. Replace the bulbs, or pry the terminals out a little. Also clean the socket where the bulb goes in and tighten the connectors there.

I had the same problem last week and just changed all the bulbs out on the advise of members here. While I had both lights apart I noticed that both center lights were turning brown on the plastic base plus the glass was starting to get a black tint to it. I still changed all the bulbs and I have not had one chime since then. All my lights were working fine during all this...
Other members have had to replace the whole circuit board that the bulbs plug into. Those cost about $25.00 each.....
