2000 Silverado  -  When I crank up, the truck will make the ding, ding sound about 5 times.  Anyway to shut this off so it doesn't do it?  Is there a fuse I can remove?

It’s the seatbelt warning chime. Just unplug the connector under the drivers seat

It's the seat belt chime. I wouldn't recommend doing anything other than wearing your seat belt but here are a few options. 

 

Wire the seat belt connector together so the vehicle thinks the seat belt is in. (don't do it!)

Wire the left speaker into the right speaker channel since it only uses the left speaker. (don't do it!)

Get a seat belt from the junkyard and cut the insert part off an plug it into your seat belt so it thinks the seat belt is connected. (don't do it!)

Plug your seat belt, then get in the car and sit on the belt. (don't do it!)

 

Just a few options that I don't recommend but will answer your question!

Are you sure this is the same ding, ding?  This happens immediately when I crank up the truck.  If that's the case, I'll just get one of the dummy buckles.  As for safty... this is just my farm truck. slow speeds, in and out a lot..  not going to use the seat belt

IIRC, my 01 had a plug in chime under the dash that I unplugged. I know I did something to turn it off the day I bought it new. I guess it could have been the wires going to the buckle that I wired together. I will look at them in the morning if you need me to.

Muddkatt, I'd be interested to know what you did only for the opposite reasons of GMC-AT.  Mine does not chime.  I use my seat belt regularly so that's not the problem.  The thing I don't like is that there is no reminder chime if the lights are left on.

I'm not a fan of defeating safety features but I understand that in the work/farm environment this may be necessary.  This post did jog my memory of the gentle reminder given by my 2000 Silverado when compared to the piercing shrill of my '15 when it was new!

My wife does not enjoy the "piercing shrill" of ours either.  We wear our seat belts religiously, but need this sound gone,  or at least volume turned down some...wow!

Your GM dealer does have a fix for this complaint.  It will still be loud, but it won't hurt so much!

I went and looked at it and I unplugged the connector that is under the seat. The chime is located under the steering wheel. If your truck does not chime when you leave the key in the ignition with the door open, or when you leave the headlights on, check the chime to make sure it is plugged up and has not been modified (removed the 1 inch speaker from it).

Are you serious Clark?  

 

I'm pretty sure I've lost that bit of my hearing where my front parking sensors go off twice a day, every day!  Why is is so loud???

Yes, I'm serious.  There are several threads on this topic.  Many have had this fix but will still be pretty loud.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.

      I wonder kind of nuts and bolts they will come up with next? Jim
