Dome light wont come on when open driver's door,key and headlight chime also quit at the same time?

Key in ignition or the spring in the ignition cylinder that activates chime for "key in ignition and door open" is stuck. Fast chime is lights and slow chime is key in ignition while door open

It sounds as if the switch in the driver's door has failed or the wiring to the driver's door has a broken conductor. Your BCM may have a problem. If you can have a scan done of the BCM codes, it may lead you to the problem ckt.

Driver door latch mechanism needs repair or replacement.

is the switch in the door bad?leave the key in the ign does the key chime go off before you open the door i think that model the switch is built into the lock assembly

All this comes from the GEM module,You will need to repair the driver door lamp switch located in the door lock assemble.

check the slidding door cantacts

I would check your door pins and make sure they are not sticking or rusted for some reason. If the door pins do not pop out when the door is opened your computer will not sense your door being open and will not set off the warning chimes. Do your dome lights work at this time? If they do it is not the fuse at fault for your warning chimes not coming on.

Check the relay, replace it with the one right next to it, if that works, buy a new relay. If that does not work, you will need to replace the switch.

Hi John,

Had a similar problem with my Saturn. Door chime going all the time, the seat belts going up - down - up for no apparent reason.

Turned out to be the switch in the door jamb had become unseated. As it randomly made and broke contact, the cars computer thought the doors were opening and closing, then acted accordingly.

I remounted it with the help of a hot glue gun (plastic mount).

Hope this info helps with your problem.

Best regards
Mike

Section 13-09: Gauges, Warning Devices — Chime System 1996 Windstar Workshop Manual
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Warning Chime Systems Three distinct sounds are used to indicate the area of concern. Seat belt warning generates 1 chime per second
key-in-ignition generates 2 chimes per second
headlight on generates 4 chimes per second.
Key-In-Ignition Warning The key-in-ignition warning will sound when the driver's front door (20125) is opened with the key in the ignition switch. It will continue to sound until the key is removed, the front door is closed, the ignition switch is turned to START or the vehicle speed is over 24 kmh (15 mph).

Safety Belt Warning When the ignition switch is turned to RUN or START from OFF or ACC, the chime will sound for six seconds or until the safety belt is buckled.

• The safety belt warning indicator lamp (10C859) will activate for 60 seconds or until the driver's safety belt is fastened. Both the chime and lamp activate at the same time.

Anytime the ignition switch is released from START and returns to RUN while the safety belt lamp or chime is activated, the safety belt warning lamp or chime will remain activated until either the timing sequence has been executed, or the safety belt is buckled.

Headlamp Switch On Warning The chime will be activated if the headlamps or parking lamps are ON, the key is not in the ignition and the driver's door is opened. The chime will sound at a rate of four per second.
