door open chime disable

A thing I did that I thought I'd throw out for your viewing pleasure. This allows you disable the chime when the doors are open while the key is in the ignition (acc position). I have a'17 SR5 access cab, I assume a DC is somewhat similar. Only the driver door triggers the chime. There is a rubber covered plunger switch on the back door that is pushed when the front door is closed. Remove the interior door panel and locate the plunger switch. There is a yellow wire coming from it, cut it and splice a two conductor wire onto it, one conductor to the switc h, one to the wire that goes to the harness. Then f eed your new wire thru the rubber boot into the cab and run along the sill ( the sill trim pops off easy ) up behind the left side cubby. I ordered a switch from CH4x4.

 

You’ll probably find the interior light and alarm no longer work on the drivers door when you have that switch in the disable chime position.

 

correct. thats why I thought to switch it vs permanently disabling it.

 

Nice work I was thinking of doing something similar. I like to keep my door open and listen to the radio. Too bad this cannot be overridden in Carista

 

Nicely done & thanks for sharing!
