    To start, the truck is a 2007 that i bought used in 2009. From the day i got it has never made a sound. No chimes when the key is in the ignition. No chimes when the gas light comes on or when the seatbelt is unfastened. Is it that the previous owner turned them off or did they just not have them to begin with. If they were turned off, how would i go about turning them back on?

    There is a way to turn them off. Unfortunately I don’t remember how, but I did mine a couple of years ago on my 2010.

    1) Turn the Car 'ON', but do not start the engine (Leave your foot off the brake). Cycle your trip reset knob until it reads ODO. Turn the ignition back off. Wait a couple of seconds.
    2) Make sure seat belt is not fastened
    3) Turn the ignition back on, do not start the car (Leave you foot off the break) As soon as you see everything light up, press and hold the trip reset knob and do a long 12 second count.
    4) Keep your finger on the trip reset knob. Fasten your seat belt, as soon as you fasten your seat belt, you should see the ODO display go from XXXX miles to "b-on". At that time take your finger off the trip reset knob and press it again. It should cycle to "b-off". You should be all set and turn the ignition off and unfasten your seat belt.

    I only did my seatbelt chime, so I don’t know about the others.
