Door & Seatbelt chime elimination

[Tri-TR6R]

Need to know where the door / seatbelt chimes are located I want to deactivate them on my 2007 Ranger. Also is it possible to just pull a fuse to deactivate them?

Look for an illustration of the interior fuse panel for your model year. It should have a description of the circuits each fuse protects. If you're lucky, the chimes may be called out separately. If not lucky then they won't be called out at all.
Chances are the fuse you are looking for will also cover a few other items as well as the chimes.

Someone with an '07 EVT manual may be able to look it up for you and offer a more specific answer to your query.

The older stuff you could just unplug the “chime box” and be rid of it. Usually my first modification. Newer stuff aint that easy.

if it's anything like the bigger ford stuff I'm more well versed on from that vintage, the chime and everything is integrated into the instrument cluster and can't really be eliminated

Yes I know , would like to find the wire color codes and just cut them.

I think on the ‘11 escape it eventually goes away after a while- or I just don’t notice it anymore. On the hhr everything is through the radio speakers somehow, if the seat belt chime comes on while the turn signal is on you dont hear the “flasher” noise. I did figure out how to get rid of the automatic locking door “feature “ though.
