Headlight warning bell not working
99 coupe. When I leave my headlights on and remove the key my warning bell is not working. It also does not work to remind you to close door with key in ignition. Has anyone else had this problem?? Where is the bell located??

The funny thing is I find the warning bell a total PITA. I wish I could fix mine so it works like yours
byronhunter is correct. The warning chime is a function built into the IPC but its controlled by the BCM. As you can see the troubleshooting guide tries to isolate whether the fault is with one of the functions that is being monitored or whether its a control failure. If its the latter the solution is a replacement BCM. I'm sure I wouldn't buy a new BCM to bring back that annoying "bong bong".

Heres the schematic if you want to dig further. Its controlled by fuse #19 in the footwell

My original 97 cluster never chimed either (I actually left the parking lights on the first week I had the car). Once I upgraded to the HUD and an 02 cluster, they started working (actually startled me). Has to be in the cluster.
