It’s above the gas pedal, you can unplug the harness to it. The chime is a small black module with a wiring harness connected.

They die sometimes, if you have an XL with the buzzer you can swap the chime from an XLT, it's plug-and-play.

I have the XLT chime, it just is stupid quiet. Once it stops raining here I'm gonna look at it. I'm willing to bet a PO put some tape over the noisemaker so it wasn't dinging constantly waiting for the glow plugs

So strange it has more than just two connector blades on it????? Talking about making something way more complicated than is needed.
Is it a good idea to disconnect the battery first?

The different blades are for the different chime triggers, there's a common ground, and then a blade for headlights, a blade for your seatbelt, etc. If you find a buzzer they have less blades (but connect to the same harness) because they aren't triggered if you leave your lights on. The "lights on" warning was the main reason I swapped my buzzer for a chime in my 1995 XL.
