Default Odd door buzzer and lights not working issue

I have a 2003 Dodge Durango R/T and at speeds of 50 mph or more the door ajar buzzer dings constantly. Anyone have this issue or know how to remove the buzzer? Also, from time to time the headlights stop working and if you disconnect the battery and reconnect, they work fine....

Thank you!

door buzzer one i would check the door adjar switch in the door jam (open the door and look where the door hinge is, you will see a button there.)

The headlight one i have heard of before but do not remember the fix, will let Indy take a shot at that one or perhaps Hydra has heard of it.


Welcome to the forum by the way.

I checked the buzzer and everything appears normal. Just odd that it does it at a certain speed.

After some more searching on here, it seems like it may be a problem with the CTM. I'm open to any suggestions though.

Thanks again

Beat me to it. Yep. Your CTM is intermittent. $450 dealer only repair. Take both key fobs with you to the swap for reprogramming.

Once your dash lights start going on and off, your hedlights stop working completely, the door chime at all speeds now and then and the horn starts honking on it's own... the CTM is shot then and you will have to take it in.

Sorry. Good luck.

CTM sounds right.
