I have one reflowed, but have yet to install it.. as i found the same thread. I too verified the signals out of the CCM are correct, everything works, but the chime works only when it feels like it

I intend to do the same thing, but if I am not successful at repairing it, I have to leave the car torn apart waiting for a replacement chime; I have other things to do with the car, and am not going to R&R the pad twice.


Thank You for the reply.
I did, but it worked before and after. this is one I removed from my car. It worked great on the bench, just not in the car.. I seems better, I need to reflow the bigger metal piece but I did a bunch of other spots too, I did not do everything (which I suppose I could)

Thanks
Anything can be adapted.. just depends how far you want to go.. I truly have to wonder if there is a component pulling too much current now causing it to not work. Maybe the control lines n the CCM are weak

So there is no foam or residual foam in my chime.. I assume the felt you added was under the plastic disc right?
