Default How to turn off alerts/chimes? These things are driving me nuts! 2010 1500 HEMI

Not the seatbelt chime, either. It doesn't bother me and it reminds me to put it on. But my God, I am so sick of my wipers coming on, radio going silent, and chimes telling me to:

Service trailer system (or whatever it says)

service tire gauge system

clean parking assist

low fuel (with a ******** full tank sometimes)

Is there a quick fix for this? My tires have adequate air in them, my sensors are clean, and I don't haul anything except a very light Jet Ski once in a while.


I am wondering if something in my garage causes it? The few times when I parked on the street overnight it seems to rarely happen, but in my tight fit garage it goes nuts on my way to work. Could just be a coincidence, though.


Any help at all is greatly appreciated.

Do you drive near any RF transmission sites or power stations?

It's doing it again, this time it cycles from the tire pressure, to just about everything else. It quit for a long, long time but last night it was going crazy lighting up "check tire pressure sensor," to backup assist, to trailer sensor and ive never hauled anything.

Why would it stop for a long time and start up again? All winter long i had zero problems with these sensors at all?

Could a bad TPMS cause everything to go off at once like that?

Anyone have any clues. I still for the life of me can't figure this out and they're going off like absolute crazy right now. It cycles through every damn bell/chime/alert the truck has. And all of them make the windshield wipers start and the horn and turn signals won't work while it's doing it. Ugh.

Have you checked the condition of the battery cables and connections? How old is the battery? The expected battery life of the TPMS sensors is around 5-7 years, so even if you've replaced the TPMS sensors once you may be coming up on due to replace them again soon. I wouldn't expect those to cause issues with many of the other warnings you're getting though.
