Door lock - Ignition chime problems

[Andrew Lundy]

Joe,

That's a pretty simple one.  Here's how I looked at it:

1)  The no-honk when you lock your doors means that the car thinks you have
a door open. (Also means your alarm isn't activating)
2)  The door chime being on constantly means that the car thinks you have a
door open.
3)  Interior lights don't go off upon locking because the car thinks you
have a door open.

See a trend.  Looks like you need to pull out your door contact switch and
make sure it's still hooked up.  If it's hooked up, time to replace it.  I
would start with your drivers door...assuming it gets used more!!

Good luck....at least it will be cheap!!
