2002 Buick Terraza: The chime/ding continues to go off for no apparent reason... it is faster and louder as driving... while stopped it will decrease speed and volumne. All doors are closed and there are no alarms indicating why it is going off.
I had this happen to me but after I removed the airbag module. I unhooked the battery terminals,unplugged the wire connections to the passenger seat,then removed the seat to gain access to the module.removed it, had it reset then reconnected everything and when I did the chimes were going off for no reason when in gear,just as described. most causes will not be the way I came across the problem but wanted to get this out anyway. basically I had to have someone sit in the seat and verify during checks or calibrate itself, so it had something to do with the diagnostics of the computer, so anyway I hope this will help someone down the road...I had this happen to me but after I removed the airbag module.

Check the seat belts there is wires hook up to them that could be broken or corroded and the door switches could be broken. The speeding up of the chimes would be part of the safety fetcher.

how can I get the door chime to stop working when I put my 2007 terraza indrive it gose off and wont stop the only thing I did was disconnect the negative batter cable to do some work and when I put it back on this is when it started. can someone please help thank you
Look up under dash and use a length of hose with one end in your ear to listen to find where the sound is coming from. You should be able to just unplug the chime unit.
be sure all doors are closed, put the key in passengers door and unlock and lock it with the key, do the same to drivers door, that should stop the chime.
you could try another dealer, as long as they are a general motors dealer they can work on cross line models and maybe have a better Technion. it is worth the money as long as they fix it.
1. Turn off the overhead over-ride switch. Drive again. Do the chimes stop? If yes, the door is not closing properly due to the door contacts. Clean them yourself or have them serviced.
2. If the chimes did not stop in step 1. above, it's not likely the door but rather something else.
3. Chimes occur for many reasons. Suggest checking - a. are the rear back-up warning sensors blocked/dirty? b. any other lights on the dash like oil, abs, airbag, etc? c. passenger side airbag disabled - something heavy placed in passenger seat?
In my experience, it's the automatic door contacts. We have a long history of problems with these auto doors, that are still not resolved. problems all throughout the warranty period, and now into the extended warranty period. We must unite and get GM to resolve the quality of these doors. My next step (next incident) is going to be to have the dealership inspect the entire wiring system.
My passenger side door would not close. The mechanic reprogrammed it with the instructions in the handbook. So far it is working OK after one month. Good luck
It may be trying to get your attention for an open door, trunk lid or other item requiring attention.
Check your owner's manual for items that can cause it to chime.
