I thought I had read in a repair manual that this can happen due to some sort of re-chargeable battery, but am clueless as to where to find it. HELP!!!
Dear Markash,
I have the same problem you have/had but my loudest chime sounds after I hit the brakes and the dash controls go out. When I restart and
not step on the brake..........it's normal. I'm new to this forum so will give you an email address to reply [email protected]
Many thanks,
John
