Default Warning Chime Issue

I have a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4. When I have the parking lights or the headlights turned on, It chimes every time you touch brakes but there is no warning light on. The left turn signal is also flashing faster than normal and a single chime is also heard with no warning lights. It does not chime at all when touching the brakes or using the left turn signal with the lights off.

I looked to see if it was throwing out any codes but none showed up. I also checked to see if all my lights were working properly and they were, including brake lights.


Anyone have any idea what could be causing this? It's really annoying

Have you check all of your brake lights and turn signals to make sure all work when being used and none are not out?

I would change out your brake light bulbs w/ new ones and go from there.
*Best case scenario*
Sounds like even though they work there might be corrosion or a loose connection (filament) that is fooling your TIPM into thinking a bulb is out.
*Worst case scenario*
Your TIPM is showing it's 1st signs of crapping out.

Mine does a lil chime after about 5 mins of driving for some odd reason nothing seems wrong. Besides redoing my top end but im sure it had nothing to do with that.
