I did a search and came up empty, is there any way of disabling the dang chime that dings constantly if you have the door/s open and the key in the ignition?? Is there an easy way of doing this or is forscan needed??

This thing is driving me crazy!!!

 

Take the key out. thats why it dings.

 

Short answer - nope!
Long answer - The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) controls all notification chimes. The turn signal Tic-Toc is the only individual hardware notification. Parking aid, BLIS and Cross Traffic alert chimes are sounded through the rear audio speakers. All other chimes are sounded through the front audio system speakers.
And no, you can't rip out the audio system. The IPC itself acts as a backup and in the event of an audio system chime failure, the IPC sounds all chimes through itself.


Yep, take the key out!

 

Hmmm sorta like that damned seatbelt chime!!!! What if I don't want to wear one? Do I have an option? I hear for 2018 models if your drinking a big Soda it will chime to remind you it's not a good idea!!!!! Is that eventually were we are headed? Thanks government regulations!!!!! I have none of these issues with my 51 ford

You can modify all those warning chimes in FORScan.

On my particular truck I modified:

No Driver/Pass seatbelt minder
Bambi Mod
Double Honk on exit
Heated/Cooled seat and HSW Icons on main screen
Engine/Trans temp above gauges

The manual has the procedure for disabling either or both of the seatbelt chimes. I disabled the passenger one almost immediately after getting the truck because the dog was setting it off.

Pretty easy to do - almost like programming a new key. Hint: If you're doing the passenger seat, be sure to be sitting in that seat.

 

Ok got ya thanks I will give it a try

 

I hear they're going to have weight sensors in the seats too. If your truck decides that you're too fat it will refuse to start. GET OUT AND WALK MORE - LARDBUTT!

 

Thanks everybody, looks like the forscan route is the way to go, thanks Bullitt390 for the exact string for disabling. I did some looking around and found the tutorial and equipment(obd11) wifi device, doesnt seem to difficult but ill give my boy this task.

The seatbelt is an easy one, same for either seat, vid is 2014 but its exactly the same on my 2016(you dont have to engage the parking brake). Click on the link below.



p.s. How does one insert u-tube vids, i cant find the how to??

 

Well for all of those that think you can't disable the door chime on a newer F-250, you are wrong. Out of personal necessity I took my 2019 F-250 to the local repair shop that is well trusted where I live and when they looked at it they said there is no way to turn it off, just like everyone else thinks. I had previously called reputable dealers as well and asked them about it and received the same response as everyone else. What I did find out from my local repair shop is he the schematic for the key in the ignition. It's pretty simple. A power wire comes from the fuse panel (fuse #18) on the passenger kick panel to the key switch and when the key is inserted another wire sends the signal to a computer. So I traced the wire to the key switch and unplugged it. It's the blue/grey wire that goes into a connector on the LH side of the steering column. The plastic is easy to take off of the steering column and you Do Not need to cut the wire. Unplug the connector, pop the red thing out of the connector and use a little pick or screw driver to release the terminal. Its the 3rd wire up from the bottom of the connector. Everything else will still function as it's supposed to with this wire removed. The only thing that is disabled is the stupid door chime when the key is inserted. And it didn't take a genius to figure this out.
Your Welcome!

 

This isn't the 250 forum. You're welcome.

 

Great first post BenB, welcome to FTE!

Scroll down on the main forum page and you will see the 2017+ Super Duty forum. I bet they would appreciate this too. I’m sure this works the same on our F150s since the share the same cab and steering column.

 

Would like to mention if you do this to a gas engine truck you will lose the pre-prime on the fuel pump. I suggest to avoid random hard starts to just use the standard proven method of forscan. Turning off the chime is in the spreadsheet.

 

Good point. Wasn‘t aware that the two were integrated.
