I don't think there will be any negative effects. At least now I know where the dinger is, mine is intermitant, and fades in and out, and every time I look for the chime, it starts to fade out lol. Just get into a habit of checking for keys before you open the door and while you're getting out, slapping the headlight ****.

yes i will definitly try to get in to that habit.
Locked my keys in my truck the other day.
at least i had Valet service. tow truck was free to unlock door.
I havent noticed anything different since i unhooked it lastnight.
i was really suprised at the # of wires going to the chime.
there were around 8 of them. my truck only chimes on door and lights
and i was wondering what all the other wires were for.

I thought about it a little bit and I remember now what happened, after my HU got stolen, and I replaced it I decided to put in an amp and make a nice stereo since I moved into a better part of town. I was hooking up the amp and accidently crossed my remote turn on wire with the ground and my overhead light blew and then my engine turned over, and then I figured that I blew a fuse, but idk how the engine turned over. But I replaced the fuse and then wired my remote lead to the remote lead on the stereo and everything was ok, and I had to replace the lightbulb, but now when my chime does go off, it's really quiet, and a lot of times, it dosn't even go off.
