Default chime sounding when headlights on.

Ok, this is beyond a PITA. for some unknown reason... when you are in the car all doors closed driving down the road and turn the headlights on.. the chime sounds.. continuously. Now according to the FSM this is only supposed to do this if A: a door is open.. I checked all the pin switches and the hatch nada.. they all work as advertised. (also the door ajar light isnt on and it works when you open a door).
so before I use a sawsall to find this incessant dinging and remove it surgically, any other ideas? electrical gremlins..

It would be nice to know what year Corvette we are talking about here, but check your Gages Fuse.

^^Right....there is a 3amp fuse that is blown, They are hard to see sometimes....I forget which one it is.

Once I found out which one it was, the problem was solved just that quick.

I started using "Smart fuses"....they glow when blown.

Similar to the idiot lights on the older cars. A fuse will blow if there is a problem. Replacing the fuse doesn't fix the problem.
