I have a 2004 ford f150 fx4x4 and the ding dong chimes don;'t wrk. not at all. I have tried everytghing!!! They don't work when you leave the lights on (daytime) they don't work when you forget to fsten your seatbelt, they don't work when you leave the key in the switch. can someone out there give me a little hint on what to look for Like which fuse ??? or reley ???.

 

This would not be an individual fuse.

did you purchase the truck new ?

I have seen a few threads on here about some going digging for the chime speaker and brute force removing it.

Have you tried to program the truck for the seat belt reminder as a starting point ?
- Owners manual has the procedure to turn it on & off

 

Sound like the "minders" are turned off. Turning off Seat Belt minders was one of the first things I did when I got my truck.

To turn on/off the seat belt minders (driver and passenger will need to be done separately), With the doors closed and the car off, turn the key to the run position. Wait for the Seat Belt light to turn off. Fasten and unfasten the seat belt 9 times ending with the belt unfastened. The seat belt light will turn on for a short period. Fasten and Unfasten the seat belt.

If the belt minder was off - this will turn it on. To confirm, the seat belt light will flash 12? times, then 12? times again.

No I didn;t buy it new however the chimes worked when I got it.Then the chimes just stopped. I like the chimes, they are good reminders. I have tried the manual to turn them on/off but to no avail is there something else I'm supposed to do.

 

Sound like a wounderful thing to me! Couse I grew up in a household with an old man that as soon as he got a new truck home he deactivated the buzzer for the key, seatbelt, etc. I'm still trying to get my stuff shut off on this truck. Annoying to me, but you seem to want these things to go off.
