Default Headlights won't stop dinging!

I just drove 20 mins home with the headlight dinger going off. As always searched, but didn't find any info. So anyone have this problem before? I could just unhook the dinger but I'd rather fix it right.

Just to be clear, It only dings with the headlights on.

edit: dome is off

That sound comes from the "chime module". It will chime if the headlights are on and the ignition is NOT turned on. The ignition-on signal comes from the ignition switch and goes through the GAUGES fuse.

Tried gauges & cluster fuses and nada. I'll have to look into it more later trying to weld up my C3 headers so I can get it out this year, I'm bout done messing with the C4 for now anyways.

The ignition switch is mounted on the steering column near the pedals. It is operated by a rod that is connected to the ignition key cylinder. The position of the switch is adjustable and sometimes they do get out of adjustment.
