James, you asked,
<< Is it possible to rewire the bell/ringer ? I would like for this
ringer to not ring in the usual situations, at start up and when the key
is in the ignition and the driver-side door is open, but instead I want
it to ring only when I have left my lights on and the engine has been cut
off. >>
The easy way is to just remove the O.E. chime and get a piezoelectric
buzzer from Radio Shack for a headlight alarm. Inside the fuse box, I
strapped a buzzer between the license plate lamp fuse and the windshield
wiper fuse.
I kept the chime, but cut and taped the grey wire in the driver's side
door switch. That allows me to leave a key in the ignition while camped,
without the bother of hearing the chime whenever the door is opened.
With a bit of duct tape over the sound holes in the chime, I barely
notice it on startup. The door switch still operates the dome light,
even with the cut off wire.
