Parking brake warning chime

There are a couple of "disable xxx chime" in Forscan discussion, but I've never been able to get any of them to change anything in reality. I don't think any of them were related to the parking brake, either.
Personally, I happen to like this chime. Reminds me the few times I forget to take it off in time. Or, if it didn't release quite all the way.

Unplug the switch. If it's a normally closed switch, jump the connector with a paper clip and wrap it with electrical tape and secure out of the way of the mechanism.

Nah. I still want the light to work, just not the annoying chime when the brake is on and tranny in gear.

Had the same problem with my 2012 Screw the day I drove it off the lot. Ford has a TSB on this; needs a e-brake cable replacement on the LH side.

??? All my stuff works as intended, I just don't like the chime with the brake activated and the transmission in anything but Park.

So with six-hundred-fifty-three-million-plus of these trucks sold and out there, and NOBODY knows how to do this one simple thing?
Guess I'll plug in the old FORScan and muddle about for a few hours, see if I can find something myself.
