Door open chime is sounding even though the doors are closed any help would be great. The light shows when in park and chime stays on when in drive.

One of your doors must have bad switch. It is either in the latch mechanism or a plunger type that is depressed when the door is closed. Check all doors for a plunger, and WD40 all latches. Work the latches several times, opening/closing doors. GOOD LUCK

Do you know where the chime is located. Thanks for the tip

mine did that under acceleration as the rear hatch would move a bit and cause the chime to go on. It usually went away by closing the rear hatch tighter.

The chime is usually under the dash somewhere. I'm pretty sure if you stick your ear under there you will find it ! LOL !

You could try this below. Got it somewhere online (can't remember) but haven't had a chance to try it and see if it actually works.

Read Steps 1 - 4 thoroughly before proceeding with the
deactivation/activation programming procedure.
The driver and front passenger BeltMinder features can be
deactivated/activated by performing the following procedure:
Before following the procedure, make sure that:
• The parking brake is set
• The gearshift is in P (Park) (automatic transmission)
• The gearshift is in N (Neutral) (manual transmission)
• The ignition switch is in the OFF position
• The driver and front passenger safety belts are unbuckled
While the design allows you to deactivate your BeltMinder, this
system is designed to improve your chances of being seat belted
and surviving an accident, and we recommend you leave the
BeltMinder system activated for yourself and others who may use the
vehicle. To reduce the risk of injury, do not deactivate/activate the
BeltMinder feature while driving the vehicle.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN (or ON) position. (DO NOT
START THE ENGINE)
2. Wait until the safety belt warning light turns off. (Approximately 1
minute)
• Step 3 must be completed within 50 seconds after the safety belt
warning light turns off.
3. For the seating position being disabled, buckle then unbuckle the
safety belt 9 times, ending in the unbuckled state. (Step 3 must be
completed within 50 seconds after the safety belt warning light turns
off.)
• After Step 3, the restraint system warning light (airbag light) will be
turned on for three seconds.
4. Within 10 seconds of the light turning on, buckle then unbuckle the
safety belt.
• This will disable the BeltMinder feature for that seating position if it
is currently enabled. As confirmation, the restraint system warning
light will flash 4 times per second for 3 seconds.
