If you disable the door ajar circuit you will also lose dome lamp operation. Key in ignition chiming can be stopped by cutting the wire that comes from the clockspring to the ignition lock cylinder.

I just pull out the key cylinder and remove the connection, tape it up and push it behind the plastic shroud. That way should anyone ever want to reinstall it they can.

Turn your key cyl to run position, look underneath the key area you should see a small hole in the plastic cover approx 1/4 in. diameter. put a small pick into the hole and you should be able to feel it push up against a spring and ball. Push up and pull out the key cyl. Remove a small black plastic piece with a brass contact on it. Tape up the brass piece, replace the cyl. and your done.
