In a 2005 GMC Sierra.. How do you turn the driver's door chime off? I use my radio a lot.. and sometimes.. using the passenger door is not so easy..

 

thanks

Theres a green wire under the lower portion of the dash below the steering wheel, all I know.. Someone who knows it will chime in soon :D

Your outta luck on 95? and up!

The chime is generated by the radio and can't be shut off.

You can only program it to be loud or soft !

(drives me nuts too!)

there is a little trick i always use to turn the chime off and it dosnt require any modification.... with the door open use ur finger and push the door latch mechanism on the door closed... thus making the truck think the door is closed when its open so you can have the door open and no ding.. you can remove the key too with the stereo still goin.... Just remember to open the door latch with the handle as you would to open the door before shutting the door again other wise it just bounces open hah!!

Can't you just press and hold the 6 preset button on the radio?

The only drawback is that if you open/close the door, it resets itself.

If you need temporary relief, try it.

I got rid of the door chime when I installed an Alpine CD player and I didn't miss that noise.

 

 

I got rid of mine by taking the plastic off the steering column and I cut the wire that is at

the end of the ignition,where the end of the key sits when it is in you should see a little

plastic and spring loaded connection that is tripped when the key is all the way in. It has two wires

coming out of it, I just clipped one and voila that annoying sound is gone. This may be a little more

than what you wanted to get in to but I already had my dash all apart fixing the instrument cluster

anyways. My only complaint is that the security light is now on in the cluster from me having the column

apart. Hope this helps. On a side note if anyone is having there instrument cluster coming on and off

check the plug on the back of it, that is all was wrong with mine not the failure of the stepper motors

as is common on some. Dont waste your time pricing a new wire and plug end for the cluster, good old

GM wanted over $1600.00 so I fixed it myself.

I used to do roll the door latch mechanism down so i can listen to my music with the doors open all of the time... and used to close the door with the latch still in the closed position all of the time!!! I installed an aftermarket radio and had to buy the harness for it which includes a new door chime module. I just removed the chime and now have no problems with listening to my music with the door open and the latch in the normal position!

I have a 2005, all you have to do like the other guy said is flip the latch when the door is open, that's that's all folks.

      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

      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”.
