well my parking brake is tweaking. When I pull the brake and it is not engaged it reads on the dash like it is punched in. Well this causes my truck to make a chiming sound which is annoying when I don't turn my stereo up and I'm driving over 5mph. Just wondering if anyone knows which fuse or which set of fuses to pull to disable that speaker. I have a '99 reg cab round body style. I'm going to replace my parking brake shoes when I do the brakes but untill then I want to stop the annoying chime.

Not sure on the fuse, it probably controls some other innocuous item like the antilock brake system. :dunno: Have you checked the plunger switch that the parking brake lever presses when disengaged? Usually a screw adjustment, not sure on the '99.

I think I know what you are talking about. In the inside of the truck there is a small screw or bolt that actually came out of the hole but it's been too dark lately when I get off work. I will check it out hopefully it is simple. Thanks for the advice....I think it happend after I got my clutch pedal removed and replaced maybe they unscrewed something and didn't put it all back together

Replacing the brake pads has nothing to do with this. Its at the sensor on the actual parking break pedal

 

that chime is the same chime for your headlights and seatbelt etc so its not easy to bypass

Yes I know replacing the p-brake pads will not stop the chime. But working a 15hr day I don't see much time replacing the pads or killing that chime. I was looking for a shortcut to temp fix the annoyance. Now when I get around to changing the pads I will fix the pedal and the chime will go away. I see what you saying there isn't an easy way to disable the speaker without finding the wires that go into it and cutting them.

this may not apply to ur car at all but generally on the side of the parking break pedal somewhere there should be a sensor with a plug, unplug it and ur chime should go away, if the chime is on for good when u unplug it short the terminals

      .30” of rain all month and it’s been weeks since that. “Mowed” our two properties today for the first time since July 2nd. It only took 30 minutes because all I had to do was level some weeds and saplings in a few problem areas. Everything else is dead.

      Shift to Park Message Warranty Claim

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Dealer reported a failed shifter module assembly so the whole shifter is getting replaced. Yet another premature repair… up to $12,000+ in extended warranty payout in only 5 years and 80,000 miles!

      According to the dealer it’s an internal leak/failure of the compressor.  Again, another failure that shouldn’t happen at only 5 years and 80k miles.  For some reason the compressors must be hard to come by right now, because the truck’s been at the dealer almost a week and they just located a compressor at another dealer several states away today.  We’ll see if this fixes the issue.

      Brake Bleed Procedure

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a reply on this thread or a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - ACDelco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles. When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so i did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance.

      I wasn’t commenting on your post. Certainly wasn’t arguing. I was making an observation on my long term experience with supposedly proper length of driving for proper heat cycles. Works for me. Although I have seen water or vapor come out of exhaust when vehicles weren’t run very long and shut off. It’s very humid in the morning. Then hot and humid.
