Wow! Thanks for all the comments. You guys always come through and I appreciate it.
A few comments..... Sounds like the dinger coming through the speakers makes sense. That would explain why the Ford Tech couldn't disable it. Why didn't he just tell me it comes through the speakers? Grr.
I already have the seat belt dinger disabled which the Tech did years ago when I bought the pickup so anything seat belt related doesn't really apply here. They are two separate issues. My trouble is the dinger sounding off any time the driver door is open. The other three doors and none of the seat belts will trigger it.
Also, I'm not worried about leaving the key in and locking myself out because I have the keyless entry touchpad on the door.
Sounds like jimg.allentown has the answer for my situation. Guess I'll have to pull the thin brass strip out of the lock cylinder.
Like jim said, I can't pull the key out partially to kill the dinger because the newer Fords don't work that way. I also can't fiddle with the door switch because it's buried deep inside the front quarter panel somewhere, it's not exposed in the door jam like all other vehicles in the past.
Also won't do any good to go to a shop with a scanner because that's what I already tried at the Ford dealer, which got me no where and brought me to the YT brain trust.
A lot of good ideas though and I appreciate every one. Besides farming, I also run a seed business and in the spring when I'm loading and treating seed, I usually sit inside the pickup to do paperwork for the customer or I'm standing at the door with the door open and spread out my books on the seat. I get sick of always having to listen to this thing or reach around the jerk the keys out. By the time I'm done shuffling paperwork around working over the center console, I go to leave and now I can't find the damn keys because they fell on the floor or maybe I put them in one of my many pockets in my pants or coat or coveralls, or maybe they're in the cup holder. Grrr. Or I get in and shut the door to get out of the wind but now its hot in the cab and I want to crack the window quick. Go to turn the key for power and nothing there. OK, where the heck did I put the keys I pulled out of there just two minutes ago. Anyway, enough is enough! I'm going to silence that dang thing once and for all. It baffles me that the computer program will let you disable the seat belt alarm but not the door ajar alarm.
