Chime wont stop - how to disable??

[In2racn]

Im on the way home with a trailer and evidently somewhere there is a bad connection to the trailer brakes. The damn "check trailer wiring" error CHIMES in every 3 seconds as the trailer brakes connect for a second and then disconnect causing the dash warning and Chime to go off. How can I disable the chime until I can figure out was is wrong with the trailer? The trailer is empty and brakes are not even needed, yet I am ready to take an ax to the dash as the chime will not stop.

 

In the "trailer" settings app on the dash, for my profile on the trailer there is a "electric brake warning" function that you can turn on and off. Neither position stops the annoying dash warning and associated warning chime. 

 

Is there a fuse? Where is the chime, I am ready to unplug it, cut the wire, anything to stop this noise.

 

Thanks!

I have, still chimes in with "Check trailer wiring". Then a couple seconds later, the bad connection "reconnects" and I see in the dash - "trailer brakes connected" (no chime). The a second later - "Check trailer wiring" with it's accompanied chime. It will drive you nuts.

Sounds like bad connection....and I'm not sure of a good way to bypass... maybe clip the trailer brake wire

Just had the same thing. My battery on the trailer breakaway was failing. Replacing the battery fixed it.

If I ever figure this ****** out I will come back here and tell you all because this is annoying as hell

I love to get my hands on the stupid ass engineer that developed this “Check Trailer Light” system!!! I’d wrap this wiring harness around his damn neck!

Has anyone found a remedy for this yet? My 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500HD started doing this at end of last camping season and has gotten worse (more frequently / sometimes continuous for an hour). Finally took the trailer back to RV dealership and my truck into Chevy dealership. Each said it wasn’t their problem Looking for any help to maintain our sanity on next camping trip .. besides playing music very loud. TIA
