Disabling chime speaker

Ok I've been through the manual and all and it doesn't help. Does anyone know where the little speaker is so I can cut the god damn wire, or a wirign diagram.

What is it that you are trying to stop chimming?

FAQ only has half of what I need.

I want:

A)To leave the key in the ignition with the truck off.
B)To listen to the radio in the ACC position with the doors open.
C)The seat belt reminder to shut up.
D)Lights to be on with the truck off without it beeping.

I know I can do a+c through doing key combos, but really you can't help B or D.
A seems kinda tricky and I just don't want any beeps ever again.

I did (B) By removing the key cylinder and placing electrical tape over the brass contacts eliminates the chiming while doors are open. (D)

To disable the seat belt minder, follow the instruction in your manual. You will have to turn your ignition swith on and off a couple of times and connect and disconnect the seat belt a few times ... all in a certain amount of time. As for the door key in the switch chime the simplest way is like " Autobahn" said above. Remove the lower cover on the steering column, you may need to unscrew the tilt ****. With the key switched to the on position, push the ball detent in on the underside of the key cylinder and pull the cylinder ... tape over the contacts and replace.
