I have a 2003 XLS.
The car doesn't seem to recognize when the key is removed from the ignition. If I turn the car off, remove the key, and open the driver's door, the chime dings and won't stop—at least not until the driver's door is closed. Also, I can't lock my doors. (They unlock about a second after locking them.)
I pulled fuse 15, which stopped the chime, but it also stopped other things that I want to work (such as my rear wiper). So that's just a temporary fix so I can lock my doors.
I searched the forums for almost 45 minutes, but I couldn't find anything pertinent to my vehicle. Is there a wire I can pull? Although, I'd ultimately like to isolate and understand what's causing the problem, I really wouldn't mind disabling this feature altogether, if that's the easiest or cheapest fix.
Thanks,
Ted
