Dash pad conversion or level 3 Calais cluster convesion?

If it's the handbrake warning chime on a level 3 conversion - it's still an unsolved problem. Let me know what cluster you have in the car (number on the top of the lens) and see if it matches the car. The last car this happend to me on was a VS ute. every time he drove off it chimed away.

Only way to stop it for now is to remove the chime from the cluster.

Ive done both dash pad and VS V6 Level 3 cluster conversion ... all using my stand Level 1 harness and patched it ... cluster part number is 92053363

Where is the chime ???

I would rather leave it if possible ... as i have a statesman aswell and the chime is used for multiple functions ... high temp, handbrake, ect

the chime is in the cluster just take off the front clear cover and rip it out (just a little round aliminium can with 2 pins as connectors ) all the warning lights still work
