How to get rid of the key chime and lights on chime


Recommended Posts

Here's how to get rid of the key reminder chime and lights on chime. I didn't really mind the lights on chime so much but this method fixes them both because we are cutting the wire from the driver's door to the instrument panel. First, disconnect your battery negative terminal and wrap a rag around the cable so it can't touch the battery post. Next remove your instrument panel, you will have to use a small hook to pull outhe microphone on the left side of the panel and undo the torx screw behind it. On the right side, pull out the center of the hazard warning switch and push two small flat screwdrivers into the slots on that are almost flush with the dash and pull if off. Now take the two screw drivers and press them against the clips that secure the switch housing and using a hook pull out the black football shaped surround over the switch. There are two slots in the surround to give you something to pull on. It takes prying and pulling, but it will come out. Now unscrew the torx screw and pull the instrument panel up to disconnect it from the dash. On the back side unclip the three cable connectors by unclipping their guards and pulling them out and unplugging the plug on the back of the hazard switch. Set the instrument panel out of the way and find the green plug. Unclip the clip where the wires enter the cable to get some room and carefullly unwind the black cloth tape about three inches. Now look for a brown wire with green and white spots on it. Cut this wire so you can reconnect it if you made a mistake and tape the ends. Now set the instrument panel pack in place and plug in all the cables, the three colored plugs and the hazard warning plug. Reconnect the battery, turn on the key, turn off the key and open the door. There should be no more key chime. If all is is well re-install the instrument panel and enjoy!
