CHIME
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a power liftgate utilize a chime (3). The chime (3) is a small cylindrical shaped electrical component mounted on the upper liftgate assembly (1) under the upper trim panel. The chime produces the audible chime sound heard at the rear of the vehicle at the start of a power cycle.
The chime cannot be adjusted or repaired and if damaged or inoperative must be replaced.
