I own a 1991 Acura Integra RS and it used to chime when I leave the lights on and open the driver's side door. It is no longer making the warning chime sound when I leave the lights on and open the door. (But actually it has been randomly and very briefly chiming occasionally while I am driving, even with the lights off and door closed.) Please help me diagnose this problem. Thank you very much.
I had the same problem as this...
When you open or close your door there is lever that sits just below the the door latch that is attached to the frame of your car by a single screw.
It is a black plastic L shaped bit of plastics that slides on its own guide. It has obviously started to malfunction over time.
To double check this:
Turn the car lights on
Open your door
Locate the black L shaped plastic level.
Wriggle it around sliding back and forth - if it starts to work when you are applying pressure onto it it looks like it has broken.
Go to your local wreckers and ask them for a replacement part (it cost me $2.00 AUD to get mine)
To take the part off all you need to do is push the level back as far as it will go and you will see a phillips heads screw holding it in place.
Undo the screw and detach the part (there will be a wire attached to the back of the metal guide)
Unplug the wire and throw the part into the bin.
Attach the wire to the back of the new part and screw the new one into place.
All should be working fine now.
Good Luck

It sounds like the electronic headlight warning module is bad. The chime is probably in this module, If you can get it to chime, maybe you can follow the sound to locat it. It's probably under dash on driver's side.
