Will take this info to my trusted mech, not dealer. See if he wants to get into the "kick panel". The same is not in any index I have in the Dealer's Manual. You said "I believe" where the chimes are. Is there not a reference that says, "They are there.". And where is "kick panel" in my Owner's Manual?

What will be "unplugged" if we find the "kick panel"? Is it like a fuse box?

Thank you for your response, and we will talk.

And are you "Mike" with 100% positive response?

Tom. (I love the old Beamers, and Old Women, but sometimes both are off the charts.)

OK, I hit a wrong button (the "Dragged Thumb" theory). Anyway, the printout says that the fuse that controls the chime, is also integrated into the "Integrated Climate Regulation (1HKR E36)" which sounds like the a/c is also part of that fuse part. My OM says naught about the a/c integration with chimes, blower, etc..

I will get back to you as soon as I can get my mech to give it a go. Anything, Anybody but the Dealer.

Thanks so far.
