Hey Guys,

I'm new here and wanted to say hey and pass on some info for our trucks instead of just taking. If anybody is interested in deactivating the key in the ignition dinger but still have it work for the headlights and low fuel signal , I have the solution with no wire cutting or taking the dinger box apart as I have seen in other post. Remove the dash panel under the steering wheel. When you remove the panel you will see a sheet metal frame that supports the dash, look up and left (ie. port or drivers side) and you will see a long and flat plug with about 25 or 30 wires attached to the metal frame. That plug will have three baby blue wires at one end. Remove the plug from the sheet metal frame and pull it down where you can work with it. If you notice it has wires going in one side and none comming out the other side, thats because it is a jumper. Remove the jumper cap off the plug and then you need to remove the pin lock and and depin (remove) the outside baby blue wire. Those wires are grounds that go to the dinger box , headlight and ignition switch. When either or both headlight or ignition go to ground the dingerbox starts dinging. Plug the jumper cap back on and everthing except the key in the ignition should work as in dinging when you forgot to turn your headlights off. P. S. this worked for my 2001 2500
 
On 2000 on up!

If you open up the steering column housing (the support for the iginition switch), you will see a small flat connector with two (four ?) very small wires located right by the ignition switch. Un plug this should kill the Key dinger only.



Need a long skinny torx to take out the screws holding the housing together.
