For the last couple dayus, a chime, sounds just like the seatbelt chime will
start when I exceed 65 mph, and will only stop when I decease to below 65
mph. It is definitely tied to speed and not engine rpm. There are no
warning lights, and it happens with both front seat belts buckled. Any help
will be greatly appreciated. Happened on three successive days and over
about 300 Interstate miles.

My BMW has a Limit feature in the computer that lets me program a Max Speed,
speeds above which will set off an alarm. Perhaps your Ford has this feature
as well, play with the buttons of the On Board Computer -- the one that
displays remaining distance to destination, fuel consumption, that sort of
thing.
