Key-In-Ignition Warning Chime
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the key-in-ignition switch closes, it sends a voltage signal to the instrument cluster (IC), which then sounds a warning chime, provided the ignition key is in the ignition lock cylinder, the ignition switch is in the OFF position, and the driver door is open. The instrument cluster (IC) sounds a steady tone, which continues until the key is removed, the ignition switch is rotated to the RUN position, or the driver door is closed.
