After getting my oil changed by a Dodge dealer my low oil warning light started coming on when I brake. I took it back to the dealer and they said that they did not cause the problem. The oil light is not the problem but every time I hit my brakes the light come on and this stupid chime just dings and dings and dings. I can pull a fuse to stop the light and sound but in also disables the dash fuel and speedometer gauges. My question is can I just disable the CHIME and HOW!!!
Thanks

Have you checked to see if the oil is at the right level

Yes, dah, I'm sure it's the low oil sensor but I need a short-term fix like disabling the chime but I'm not sure how to do it.

Actually it was my wife that took it to the dealer and it's her van but I drive it from time to time with the family.

I am having the same problem, but it's not just when I hit the brakes, it will come on from time to time, I already changed the sensor on it, does anyone know if there is another sensor, or how to turn off that dang chime?

If this started right after changing the oil I would remove the filter they put on and try a different one like a Purolator and see if the problem stops . Faulty filters can sometimes cause something like this , you don't have to change the oil again its very unlikely its the oil .

WARNING WARNING WARNING
My 99 grand caravan SE had 85K miles when it displayed the low oil light and constant audio warning (dang dang dang...). I stopped immediately to check the oil level. It had plenty of oil so I thought it was faulty indicator. Regardless, I was going to have a mechanic take a look right away. Then I drove about 5 miles more when it croaked and died. As it turned out it was the weak oil pump, unable to pump enough lubricant to the engine. Replacing engine cost $4700. If you want to avoid that, stop driving the car as soon as you see the warning light.
