Chime wont stop - how to disable??

[In2racn]

Im on the way home with a trailer and evidently somewhere there is a bad connection to the trailer brakes. The damn "check trailer wiring" error CHIMES in every 3 seconds as the trailer brakes connect for a second and then disconnect causing the dash warning and Chime to go off. How can I disable the chime until I can figure out was is wrong with the trailer? The trailer is empty and brakes are not even needed, yet I am ready to take an ax to the dash as the chime will not stop.

 

In the "trailer" settings app on the dash, for my profile on the trailer there is a "electric brake warning" function that you can turn on and off. Neither position stops the annoying dash warning and associated warning chime. 

 

Is there a fuse? Where is the chime, I am ready to unplug it, cut the wire, anything to stop this noise.

 

Thanks!

I have, still chimes in with "Check trailer wiring". Then a couple seconds later, the bad connection "reconnects" and I see in the dash - "trailer brakes connected" (no chime). The a second later - "Check trailer wiring" with it's accompanied chime. It will drive you nuts.

Sounds like bad connection....and I'm not sure of a good way to bypass... maybe clip the trailer brake wire

Just had the same thing. My battery on the trailer breakaway was failing. Replacing the battery fixed it.

If I ever figure this ****** out I will come back here and tell you all because this is annoying as hell

I love to get my hands on the stupid ass engineer that developed this “Check Trailer Light” system!!! I’d wrap this wiring harness around his damn neck!
