Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

(ie: if it chimes I then know it's a fault with the senor wiring and not the speaker - 'cause it might even be the light switch starting to fail, which is a much easier repair)

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hiyall, The door chime when the lights are on has bitten the dust. Not sure if I've fouled up a wire when I recently refurbished the window lifter mechanism or if the speaker has just decided to die of old age. There are replacement speakers available, and I'm skilled enough with a soldering iron to do the job . . . but I'd rather know that that's the job I need to do before setting about dismantling the rear of my instrument cluster. It's one of those - 'I don't mind doing it, BUT I'd rather not do it if I don't have to' (a very condition dependent laziness on my behalf) Does anyone know how to test the function of the speaker first ie: is there a circuit I can temporarily bridge to simulate a door open, engine off, lights on condition so that if the chime doesn't sound I know the fault is between the bridge and the speaker and not further back along the circuit? (ie: if it chimes I then know it's a fault with the senor wiring and not the speaker - 'cause it might even be the light switch starting to fail, which is a much easier repair) Cheers
