The ignition bell wont stop ringing

Another american invention bells and bleepers that drive me insane when repairing cars and the door is open dong dong dong ,fixing the lights ring ring ring ,key in ignition bong bong bong .look in the fuse /relay box inside the car and thier you should find the annoying little speaker thingy pluged into here and it normally looks like a relay with speaker holes on the side .

look around the car on each door, you will see a small black switch on wich the door shuts on. This switch when open brings on the light and bell. Go around and check by pushing each one of these in. This should stop the light/charm. It works on what is called an open circuit, if you check each of the sensors and the problem persists, then one of the sensors may be faulty or their is a broken wire somewhere in the circuit. For the mean time to stop your battery going flat, remove the interior light globe.

On the ford ranger wiper motor not working, this is how u fix it. I am a licenced autobody mechanic for mercedes and my son bought a ford ranger and of course the wipers were not working-neither did the dome light and door chime.I told my son too replace all fuses ,switch and motor. And still nothing.Remove radio there is a pcm in behind- ours was unpluged. When we plugged it in the door bell would not shut off and the dome light stayed on. In stead of unplugging the pcm remove the light if wd40 does not work on the door latches. And to stop the door bell ringing remove the plastic cover around the ignition and their is a single wire with a blue connector just remove the wire it is the wire closest to the key and tape up the end and problem solved guarenteed . my email is [email protected] I will walk u through it .

Sounds silly but this is how i fixed my bell ringing. !st the ringing is the alarm when you open the door and the key is in the ignition or the car is running. I found the push switches that are on the side of the car and are operated when the door is shut have become loose. All you need to do is tighten them up a bit and the bell ringing will stop. When you make your right turn you probably push a bit on the door and that helps open the switch more. The switches are the contact switches that turn on the light as well as the warning sensors for open door. See if your dome lights flicker a bit as well.

Hi,

If you're referring to the Courtesy door switch (interior light turns on when you open your door), then quickest solution would be to locate the interior light fuse (inside fusebox) and remove it (key off).

However, it is possible that other devices like Keyless entry, Radio etc, may also run off the same fuse. If this is the case, then the safest bet would be to have someone remove the inside door panel (the one which the switch has fallen through) and disconnect the courtesy switch connector, until you have had the switch repaired.

Cheers,

Replace the ignition switch or take to a dealer they may be able to repair the switch.

You can unplug the chime box - it will not affect the operation of the truck.

Your door switch is out of adjustment or is just going bad. Even if your interior lights turn off when you shut the door, the switch is still out of adjustment or just going bad. take it to the dealer and have them look at it. they should be able to solve the problem for $20.00 or maybe even for free if you have them do other work like an oil change.

Hey Wizz,
Have you checked the "closed door" plungers?
My neighbor had the same problem. I found it to be the drivers side plunger. The plastic retaining ring had broken, leaving the curcuit open. Being two months later, I hope you have found it.
I drove it a half mile...... It was like Chinese water torture. AHHHHHHHHHHH!

Hope this helps.

It was the seatbelt chime - our solution remove the module.

Thanks anyways
