[s-cars] Auto Check System & door/lights chime

[Robert Rossato]

Hmmm, I have had none of the other symptoms of a failing ignition
switch.  I replaced mine a year or so back with a factory one.  The
thing is that I can see the Auto Check symbols pop up (The right side
brake pad sensor has an iffy connection and comes up occasionally), but
there is no associated beep.  Also no beep for the normal OK from the
Auto Check at startup.  I would think if it was due to the ignition
switch the Auto check system wouldn't work at all.  But I'll keep an eye
out for other ignition switch issues just in case.
