I have a 2002 Expedition and it starts chiming about 20 seconds after being
started.   About 5 sets of 6 chimes. No warning lights just the chimes. The
seat belts are secured. I have even followed the manual regarding turning off
the chime for the belts but it did not work.

No interior lights come on.  I checked the doors (no warning lights for open
door).  I noticed yesterday that the chimes start all over again after 30
minutes of driving.

No warning lights at all along with the chimes? I believe the seat belt
reminder should flash the seat belt warning light along with the chimes. Is
it a fast chime? If a bad door switch is causing the chimes, then the door
ajar light should be flashing. As an experiment, try buckling both front
seat belts (even if there is not a passenger). Do you still get the chimes?

I suggest you join the Expedition Owner's Mailing List and ask your question
to that group. If it is a common problem, another group member is likely to
have seen it. See http://mail.xpog.com/mailman/listinfo/expedition .

Ed, thank you for your response.  No warning lights at all.  It is a slow
chime (sounds about the same as the washer fluid low chime).  I will try your
suggestion of buckling both front with no passenger - we have done it with
and without in the past.  Thanks!
