Hoe can I disconnect my L /hand door chime when door is open no key in ignition 1995 f350 thank you guys . friskyjake

 

That's the first thing I do when I buy a OBS, unplug it under the dash by the steering column.

 

If the headlights are off, no key in the cylinder, the chime should NOT ring.

 

The ignition cylinder has a little switch in it that makes the door chime work when the key is installed. If you pull he bottom cover off your column you will see a wire going to the cylinder. Two options. 1.. cut wire 2. Pull cylinder and fix switch. Most likely it has slipped out of its little holder and is grounded.

 

This is always my first mod too!

It is a cigaret pack sized box and has a surprising amount of wires to it...about 4 or 6 or so. I was expecting only a pair of wires. My recollection is that the connector is D shaped and reminds me of the OBD test port, not the newer port.

 

Seven terminals on the connector.

 

I too hate that chime for the key in ignition, but I kind of like the chime for the headlights. If you unplug that chime box, you loose all chimes, so my solution was to bend the male tab on the chime for the key in ignition over so it will not plug back into the female wiring. That way I loose the key in ignition chime, but still have the headlight on chime. The female wire for the key chime is black with pink stripe.

 

head light chime is nice, wish mine worked last summer when I killed my batteries


I am so used to having the whole vehicle off when key is taken out after driving Toyotas for so many years
