from what i can figure so far it is not in the door switch being all the lights shut off when i close it, and that switch in the door controls the lights and everything all in one unit, i believe. i do think the problem may be in the ignition where you slide the key in. i think there is a "pin" or something the key presses on when in the ignition, and then releases when you remove the key. i believe the "pin" is sticking. any other ideas??? thanks

I've got an 02 Expedition and this happens to me often (but not always). The issue with mine is that the ignition thinks the key is still in, meaning I can still turn it even with the key out (though it won't start due to security system). My solution is just to wiggle the ignition back and forth until it gets into the correct spot and the chime stops. I guess the true fix would be to correct the sensor that determines whether the key is in or not, but it's not a big deal for me so I haven't looked into it.
