PT CRUISER Infernal dinging warning noise. How do I kill it?

[cartart]

Driving my missus mad on her new ride. Dings for friggin eveything you do!!!!!

Help???

[DrDeAtH]

Kill it with fire....

[Locknut]

Anything about it in the driver's handbook?

[HaloGen8]

Passenger seat or seat belt dodgy so car thinks there's not a seatbelt being worn maybe?

Has your wife got her seatbelt on??

Surely the "ding" has an associated light on the dash somewhere??

i was thinking c4, though both would do the job..

I have one, it doesn't ding, there is something wrong with yours. Might be the hatchback is open, it's hard to see the light that indicates when it is open on the dash.

sell it

Is it constant, or just the generic American ding, warning you that the car was built for mongs?

You know, seatbelts not fastened/lights on with no keys in ignition/door open/....

We had one on holiday, whilst it served its purpose, I could not live with it on a full time basis.

It could be something that a dealer needs to turn on or off, I would give them a ring and ask

Isn't that a bit like overkill? Nice big tree would do the job with the added bonus you can claim on insurance after

I had this with my Prelude.

I traced the noise to a small grille in the drivers footwell.

I stabbed it to death through the grille with a screwdriver

VERY SATISFYING

Job done.

Crash it into a brick wall at 70mph.

This is the case.

If you disable this, it drops a star on the ncap rating. And may just invalidate warranty / insurance. I asked my dealer about it, years ago.

You get a star for a beep?

I was at a garage when a woman drove in, in a PT cruiser which was dinging away even when the ignition was turned off. The unit is in the l/h (passenger) foot well in UK, and was part of the security system.
(Although I cannot believe that anyone would want to steal one these) The unit has its own power supply which is recharged every time the vehicle is running. The mechanic took the unit out, and slung it very hard in into their vehicle scrap skip, where it carried on dinging away. In the end the Mechanic got so fed up with it, he fished it out of the skip, then mashed it to bits with a hammer. It eventually did it stop dinging, but it was a bit like a bl**dy terminator the way it kept going, and going even after it had been mashed and disembodied.
