Default door chimes when

Door chimes when drivers side door is open, no keys are in the ignition and no lights are on.
The passanger side doesnt cause the sound. I dont know at what point it started but i have mod my car so much that i dont know which project did it. My wife noticed it recently but it never caught my attention. Now it is really annoying when I am working in the car or cleaning it. Please help me!

Sorry, no help, but that would bug the hell out of me also.
Good luck.

That has to be an ignition cylinder problem. Normally the chimes only sound when the key is in and there's a voltage through the VATS resistor.

Weird.

I get it sometimes when I think my lights are off and they are not, I just turn them on and have the lights go up and down again. Mine does it when it is really cold out and I just was driving at night. I dont think its a big deal I just turn my lights on and then off and the chime stops.
