Is there a way to fix the the turn signal chime and other various chimes on a 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt LS, there is no sound from them as well as front speakers?

No sound from turn signal or anything else from computer system. I have read that it could be the front speakers which are not working either, I was also told it could be the radio, any ideas?

The audible warnings alert the driver of a system concern or a critical vehicle condition. The radio generates the audible warnings through the speaker. The radio receives audible warning requests via the serial data circuit. If the radio receives multiple audible warning requests, the warning with the highest priority sounds first. The following lists the audible warning priority and the pulse rate:
?€¢
Fast rate chime (200 pulses per minute)


?€¢
Medium rate chime (150 pulses per minute)


?€¢
Slow rate chime (50 pulses per minute)


?€¢


Single chime

    Just the left front (driver side ) speaker . Your best bet is to take it to a qualified repair shop. Radio blew a channel inside radio . An you can't just replace the radio with an after market one . This radio is connected to the GMLAN low speed data bus . If the vehicle loses radio connection it may not start . All the modules on your vehicle ,engine computer body control module ,air bags , anti-theft system ,anti lock brakes etc... Are on three different dats bus networks .
    The communication among control modules is performed through the GMLAN high speed serial data circuit and the GMLAN low speed serial data circuit. The modules that need real time communication are attached to the high speed GMLAN network. The body control module (BCM) is the gateway between the networks. The purpose of the gateway is to translate serial data messages between the GMLAN high speed buss and the GMLAN low speed buss. The gateway will interact with each network according to that network's transmission protocol. Refer to Body Control System Description and Operation for more information about the gateway.

    The powertrain control module (PCM) on this vehicle, uses a class 2 serial data buss. The class 2 buss is only used for diagnostics and the service programming system (SPS). During normal vehicle operations, there is no communications over the class 2 serial data buss. Normal vehicle operational messaging for the PCM is sent over the PCMs GMLAN high speed serial data buss.
    Like I said your best bet is to take it to the dealer or a qualified independent repair shop. You have no idea of the complexity of your vehicle .

2009 silverado 2500hd wt Diesel chime in ceiling does not work for any notifications, seat belt, low fuel, turn signal on, door any clue where to start looking.

The chime system is a class 2 databus. The chime is actually created by the factory radio and plays thru the left front speaker. If the radio is non factory and the appropriate kit was not used ( which has a speaker for the chine) or the front left speaker is blown then you won't have a chime. If you do have a factory radio and the speaker plays the music fine then the problem lies in either the data circuit or the radio. If you have an aftermarket radio and the correct wiring kit was used then either there is a bad connection, blown chime speaker or defective kit.

Does the bcm control the alarm in a 2006 monte Carlo? I can't seem to get the alarm to go off. I've also noticed that I have no chime and turn signal sounds. I just recently purchased this car and...

The no chime and turn signal has nothing to do with the alarm. You have a issue with power supply to turn flasher and door chime. The alarm consist of The door ajar switch,body control module,front door lock switch,power door lock switch. You need to check your fuse for turn signal and the door chime

2008 Cobalt - Front speakers not working and no audible turn signal. Both stopped working at the same time.

In my 2008 Cobalt, the front speaker in the driver door went inoperative - no turn signal noise, no warning chimes for door open with key in, seatbelt chime, low fuel chime, and of course, no music. All of those sounds come through the speaker. I switched the driver door speaker and the passenger door speaker, and now I have all of those noises back.

If you have manual roll down windows, you'll have to buy a special tool to remove a little clip that's behind the roller handle. This tool was included in a kit for about $7 that I bought at Harbor Frieght, but you might be able to find the kit at other auto parts stores. Google "removing window crank" and you should be able to locate a video that shows how to get it off.

Anyway, I switched the speakers and now we just don't have music coming out of the passenger door speaker, but at least we have all of the warning chimes and turn signal clicking noise again.

The dealer wanted almost $200 for a new speaker and to replace it (labor). Rediculous.

2007 HHR Radio and chimes not working

Check the radio fuse. As unusual as it seems, GM has started having the radio (even though not turned on) generate the chimes and turn signal sounds. If the radio fails, all the chimes fail too.

This applies to other vehicles besides the HHR. My 2003 Silverado had the door chimes fade down so I could barely hear them. The fix was to replace the radio (under warranty, fortunately...).

Electrical issues

the radio runs the door chimes as well as a number of other components. dash lights things liketha so if your stereo is not working thats why your door chimes are not either. I would start with fuses then look to getting a new stereo only thing ir a n aftermarket harness for that car runs about $150 bucks

How do i disable my seat belt alarm sound

You must lock the doors first using the KeyFob - then press and hold the remote start button for 3-5 seconds.

To disable the seatbelt chime, you must either wear your seatbelt, install an aftermarket radio (as the chime plays through the speakers), or find a used one in a junkyard - cut off the seatbelt and plug it in - Chevy does not have an override... however it will only do it 3 times in 15 minutes - then stop bothering you.
