Why does a chime ding intermittently, always twice?

A chime dings twice, from any movement, from closing door, using turn signals, braking, etc. It doesn't always do it, sometimes only when started. Sometimes it goes off only a few times, sometimes every minute, even while driving on highway, and not touching anything. We just purchased a couple of weeks ago, so don't know how long it's been doing it. ANY help or suggestions, would be greatly appreciated!! If not, I will surely go batty!! hahaha Thanks in advance for your time and patience.

SOURCE: fuel gauge erratic

you will need to have the cluster (guages) repaired or replaced. (for the vibration). You will need to do this first.

They also have problems with the fuel level sensor in the tank, the contacts corrode and will give false readings. BUT this will not cause the guage to vibrate as you have described.

SOURCE: 2003 GMC Sierra died while driving down the highway

hi, the problem you are having sounds like an imobilser problem does your key have a fob that unlocks the doors etc check this is working if it is then the problem could be with the key itself as they are programmed so that if somebody used a different key in the ignition it wouldnt allow the car to start.
The only way of knowing for sure is by taking it to a main dealer because the imobilser problems wont show up on a diagnostics machine the main dealer will be able to test the key or fob for you they should test it for free but if it needs replacing then you will have to pay for this unless its a common fault if it is common problem with that make and model they will replace this for free.

im sorry their is no easy fix for this problem but it is more than likely your imobiliser if it was say something like starter motor your car wouldnt have cut off whilst running so it points to an imobiliser problem so get this checked.

Let me know how you get on or if you require further assistance ok

SOURCE: 2006 GMC Yukon Denali XL Rear Hatch & Glass locks not working

Could be the latch mechanism for the door is sticking. You could try using some white grease on the latch and the contact where the latch hooks to. You can purchase the grease from most auto parts stores. You will not need to use alot. Just apply a small amount to the mechanisim and then work it in using the manual handle. Then open and close the door several times to feel the "action". Then apply a little more and repeat. This should loosen the latch and get it working again. Also make sure that none of the tension springs have come loose on the latch. And check the seal around the door and make sure it is not pinched and has a proper fit.

My pontiac montana 2004 radiator fans are not coming on. Instrument cluster is all wonky and door chime dings when the door is open even when I haven't forgotten to remove the key.

Fans are controlled by a temperature sensor on the engine block. I would start there - verify the wiring for a fuse problem and if OK, replace the sensor.

2001 f150 ignition keep dinging even when truck is

Check all your fuses. Check the door jam switch. I Had a Volvo do that once and the brake light fuse was bad which caused the chime to ding all the time. When you open the door with the key in ign the ding goes off. I would check that switch and circuit if the fuses are ok

How do I turn off the interior light and keep the back hatch open? We love going to the drive ends but the inside lighte wont turn off...

I do this almost daily, while working on or cleaning cars. Open drivers door, put key in ignition so that the chimes are dinging. Now, look at the latch on the open door, you can see a "U" shaped latch arm, using a screwdriver, pretend its the striker on the post, and push the latch arm back until it clicks twice. The dinging should stop, and the interior light will go off, just as if the door was closed. Now, if the latch on the rear hatch is similar, you should be able to "trick" it the same way.

Before you attempt to close the door(s) or the hatch, pull the handle as if you were opening it. The latch should pop back to it's "open" position. If not use the screwdriver to pull on it while pulling the handle. Do let me know if your now "IN THE DARK"!!

Which fuse makes the ding when you turn off the car but the headlights are still on?

Before you spend too much time looking for fuses, you may want to read this article: Where's The Fuse?

Then, a little information about your vehicle:

The "ding" is generated by the Body Control Module (BCM) on your vehicle.
If there is a blown fuse that goes to the BCM, there will be a LOT of stuff that doesn't work. The BCM controls your headlamps, turn signals, interior lamps, door locks, trunk release, and more.

If the chime is malfunctioning (i.e. dinging when it is not supposed to or failing to ding when it is supposed to) then your best course of action would be to scan your BCM for fault codes. There may be a switch, broken wire, bad connector, etc. causing the malfunction.

I own a 2007 montana and had it for 1 month now ..It keeps making a ding ding ding chime while driving ..The passengers rear door is automatic and when I press the button it makes the same noise but when...

1. Turn off the overhead over-ride switch. Drive again. Do the chimes stop? If yes, the door is not closing properly due to the door contacts. Clean them yourself or have them serviced.
2. If the chimes did not stop in step 1. above, it's not likely the door but rather something else.
3. Chimes occur for many reasons. Suggest checking - a. are the rear back-up warning sensors blocked/dirty? b. any other lights on the dash like oil, abs, airbag, etc? c. passenger side airbag disabled - something heavy placed in passenger seat?

In my experience, it's the automatic door contacts. We have a long history of problems with these auto doors, that are still not resolved. problems all throughout the warranty period, and now into the extended warranty period. We must unite and get GM to resolve the quality of these doors. My next step (next incident) is going to be to have the dealership inspect the entire wiring system.

Hi! I have a 2002 Cadillac Deville and yesterday I unlock the door with key pad and opened it and when I did I heard the chiming sound that it makes when you have the keys in the ignition with the door...

It may be trying to get your attention for an open door, trunk lid or other item requiring attention. Check your owner's manual for items that can cause it to chime.
