BenKey Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Yeah, to keep idiots like me out of trouble. The wife had to come by work and get me in the truck after I removed the wire. After owning a 99'GMC that had the same protection, and never once needing it - I disconnect the protection and lock myself out no more than 48hrs later. Damn the luck!

dcairns Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Ok, I am trying to keep a straight face here, because I know if I laugh, it will happen to me next :P :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 (edited) Yeah, me too. The only thing that saves my butt is experience. The last four vehicles of mine have had a key hidden on the outside for just those days. It only took having to break out one window many years ago in Atlanta to learn that lesson. What I have to quit doing in this SS is accidently hitting that damn heated seat button on the drivers door. Done that twice now and I LIVE IN PHOENIX!!!! The LAST thing thisvehicle needs is heated seats!!!! The first time I did it I got back in the truck, started her up and was motoring down the hwy thinking how much the sun had heated the seats while it was parked. And the more I drove the hotter the seats got and I was cursing leather seats until I finally realized what had happened. Even then it took about 20 minutes for those babies to cool down again. Did I mention I live in Phoenix and DON'T need HEATED SEATS........even in the "winter." It's 72 degree's around here in the "winter."

creaker Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 I'm with dcairns on this one. GM needs to allow volume control on that chime. I know the day after I disable it I'm going to end up locking myself out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcairns Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 That's happened to me too, but they do come in handy once and a great while for me ( more frequently for the wife ). In your case Lee, you ought to find the fuse for the heated seats and pull it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Good idea, Dave. I'll check that. I hope there is a dedicated fuse for just the seats and not a fuse the covers two or three seperate things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhbar Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 If you pull the wire out to kill the chime, will OnStar still be able to unlock the truck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhbar Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 I was able to perform the surgery in under 5 minutes with a large paper clip and a 2" strip of black electrical tape. Great thing is that there is no more annoying chime, but all I had to change the setting for the automatic seat adjustment from key in to remote door unlock. Not a big deal, but I thought I would share with the group that any setting based on the key being in the ignition will no longer work as programmed. I haven't tried OnStar yet to unlock the doors, but will report back when I have an answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledfootss Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 i fixed it another way before i even open the door the key is out of the ignition. in fact im not even sure i have heard the chime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conradv Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 (edited) A few questions: Does this procedure isolate all of the doors from the DIC? If a rear door is open, will a message appear on the DIC? Are the chimes from all doors affected, or just the driver's door? (I think it chimes when a door opens while not in park - but I can't remember at the moment) Since the "key-in" door locks are disabled, will the "shift to drive" door locks work? Will this procedure work on ANY 2003 GM truck (not just SS)? thanks! Edited February 10, 2004 by conradv (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 It affects the chime when the key is in the ignition and the door is open, vehicle off. That's it. No doors chime, but I don't remember any other doors chiming, even before I pulled the wire. Door ajar chimes still work. Don't know what the diffs are between any other truck, but would think any '03 truck would work the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r8rs4lf Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 While reading this thread I was laughing cause of what everyone was saying they were using. A paper clip and black tape etc, etc..... Kind of reminded me of one of the Baldwin brothers in Halfbaked when they ran out of papers. Good job on the pics!! Why not make this a sticky????????
