I NEED to cancel the start-up chime. Please some psychiatric help here. Short order, I can not stand the Ford chime on ignition start-up. I put my key in and crank the engine and I hear this obnoxious nuclear-warning chime. I mean what is the purpose of this chime? The chime says..."You are starting your turck", or "You are about to drive your truck...? I just do not understand the utility of this obnoxious sound. I just want a quiet truck where I put the key in, crank it over and drive off. I am quite offended to hear the five-pulsed start-up chime. Give me a stinking break!!

Anyone know of a way to disable it?? I thought I had it disabled with the mod to cut the blue wire with the grey marker stripe, but it only disabled the door open with key in ignition chime. One down, five to go.

Please someone help me. I love my truck, but I just hate the start-up chime. Give me a break. If I do not find a way to cancel this start-up chime, I may have to have shoot extra ground squirrels this spring. Well, okay, I will shoot as many ground squirrels as I can anyway.

I asked my service manager to disable the "door dinger" and the "seatbelt dinger". He did.

On first turning on the ignition, there are three little chirps, repeated three or four times. Then silence. I suspect that's what you're talking about. Those don't bother me, so I didn't ask him to get rid of those too.

The seatbelt dinger disable is on page 191 of the 2012 F-150 Owner's Guide. I don't see a seperate door dinger disable, so I suspect the seatbelt dinger disable also disables the door dinger.

you can always clip the wire.....

I did take off the lower steering wheel column cover and clipped the blue/grey wire for the key in ignition/door open chime. Now I want to disable the chime on start-up. Just seems to be no reason for the chime and it drives me crazy!

I have already done the seatbelt Beltminder chime.

Anyone have a fix? Anyone know of the wire to cut for this chime? And more importantly, will the snip affect any other system???

Help

I read it in another post ahwhile back, try searching for door chime wire on here

I have done many searches, that is how I cut the door open/key in chime. Most of the later model posts are for this. There are several posts that detail the proceedure for the earlier model F150.

I just want to silence the GD start-up chime

Thanks for your suggestion anyway!!

Install a set of earmuffs on your headrest!

I agree, it's an annoying chime.
And it goes on for like 5-6 seconds or so, what is up with that?
Don't even get me started on the blinkers...

I like the chime. Think of it as a reminder that you are about to drive the most awesome truck on the road.

There is no established "door chime kill" for the 2011 & 2012 models yet.
Ford changed the wiring from the easier 2010 model blue wire fix.

Have kids. The start-up chime will be music to your ears.
