Ding, ding, ding... even with key out.
If you replace your clockspring do not put the clip to the ignition cylinder flush with the cylinder socket unless you want to be dingy like me. I finally dove back in today while chasing an air bag issues. Here is the little connector. the other picture is with ignition cylinder removed and connector seated where it does not ding with the key out.

Right.
Thinking about it, you might be able to check it with just an ice pick if you can run through the hole in the plastic and hit the hole holding the cylinder. Of course, put the key in and turn to run first. Push the ice pick into the cylinder hole and lift the lock cylinder out.

I get the "dinging" when I remove my ignition key, without turning the switch far enough back toward "acc".
Speaking of clock-springs, steering columns, ignitions, "dinging", etc...
My cruise control doesn't work...the fuses are all good and my horn works and I have no air bag issues (that I know of). I stopped by Ford and had them check for any open recalls on my Bronco...there are none.
What might be the likely culprit? Any "easy" things to check/verify?
Sorry for the hijack...if I need to post my question separately, I sure will.

With mine the sequence of failure was... Light flashing 3-2, cruise failure , horn failure. The dealer replaced the clockspring to fix it. The cost contributed to my bravery the next time it happened. I learned to disconnect the battery and do something else for a long time for about $300 labor savings.
After the second clockspring and digging into my ding... ding... ding I learned to use a torque wrench on the steering wheel bolt. I almost did not pull it the last time. Farm boy heritage tight was too much.
