1999-2007 General QuestionsGeneral questions related to 1999-2007 Super Duty trucks. If it doesn't fit the other categories, post it here. Gas engine discussion that pertains to all models is allowed. Specific gas engine questions should use the Gas Engines forum.
When my driver's side door is open and no key in the ignition, I still get a door chime. I assume this isn't the intended functionality? Is there an easy fix?
I saw the posts about removing the piece of metal from the ignition cylinder, and I checked that out, but everything looked normal and the problem didn't change. I just bought the truck used, but it's still under warranty. However, if it's an easy fix, I'd rather not waste the time taking it to the dealer for something simple that I can fix.

That isn't normal unless you have left the parking lights or head lights on. It should not "ding" if there is no key in the ignition unless as stated some lights are left on.

A little squirt of WD 40 in the key slot and work the key in and out about a dozen times and squirt one more shot and work the key several more times and you should be golden, good luck ,Larry
