Re: warning chime!

fuse 15 is good, at least is looks good in the dark. I will replace it, no matter what it looks like. I will check the central locking fuse too.

Re: Seatbelt/door chime wont shut up. What to check? 1997 8

I am having the same problem.
I used a home made flash tool to get mileage
the chime won't quit,
fob's wont work
alarm won't arm
lock switch only unlocks doors
car starts and runs.
Any knowledge anywhere?
I have been scouring this site for answers.
