Help with the BEEP!

The "chimes" come from the factory radio and out through the driver side speaker(s). I believe the volume can be controlled (although not completely shut off)...see the owners manual.

You don't "access" it. The door/warning chime on late model GM cars originates in the factory radio, and the sound is fed to the same speakers as your audio. To put a switch in between means you cut out your music, too, every time you throw the switch.

The most effective way to get rid of the chime is to replace the radio with an aftermarket model. I don't believe any of the aftermarket units generate door chimes, so your problem would be solved.

Another solution might be to cut the wires the sensors that detect when doors are open. But then your interior lights wouldn't come on either.

Actually, there are some that keep the chimes going. But it needs more wiring. On 2 cars that I drive there are aftermarket stereos and they both chime.

I just looked at the schematic and the only place that I see where it can tell if the door is open or not is part of the headlight system..the courtesy thing. So in the BCM on the schematic it's "B5 YEL 10". It's inbetween ORG/BLK and BRN/WHT. If you want I could put the schmatic somewhere.

Leave the door closed & run the windows down instead.

Wire in an override switch into the door jamb, when the door is open you can flip the switch to short the door close sensor.

Not so on a 1996-2005 Buick Century. These radios do not rely on class II to produce chimes. The chime is still produced independently of the radio.
