CM What Is Causing Bell To Ring

Sometimes when opening the door to enter my 06 with the remote transmitter in my pocket, the bell will ring 3 times. This only happens occasionally, but I would like to determin the cause.
Thanks again

Are you pushing against the seat memory buttons inadvertantly?


or, do you have an extra FOB in the car when you close the door?

This also happens with my C6 and I do not have memory seats. My bell keeps ringing until I get in and close the door.

CM Eveything is off

As an experiment,I turned everything off.Anything that rings,I shut off. My car rings SOMETIMES when I close fhe door. It is intermitent,and of course when I was at the dealer having my car serviced,it wouldn't do it. Figure it out.I have had 3 Vettes and I am beginning to believe Vettes have a mind of their own.

I was searching for this topic. I just switch to my backup FOB the battery went out on the one I was using. Now my car will ding sometimes when I open the door to get in and sometimes not. Can't figure out why, been reading the manual but could not find anything to help. I have an 08 LT3 with nav. Has anyone found an answer? I have reset all the programmable options to the same as my other FOB I believe.
