You can't remove the chime. It's part of one of the computerized modules on your Dakota. If you disable the chime for DOOR AJAR, you disable the chime for EVERYTHING!
No, No, No.
Bad. Bad nofords.
If, for some strange reason, you feel you have to drive around with the door open, and don't want that chime messin' with your tunes, there is a way to turn off the chime (Hint #1 - as if the door was closed).
Hint #2. Where is the switch that tells the computer the door is shut?
It's easy to figure out, with application of some basic reasoning and a minimum of aptitude.
Let me know if you need another hint.

NOBRAIN,
Since you are the savvy, intellectual type this solution will be right up your alley.
Go to a gun shop and buy not one, but two .40 Glock pistols and two rounds of ammunition. Put 1 round in the chamber of each Glock. Holding a pistol in each hand, put the barrel of either pistol in each ear hole. Pull the triggers simultaneously.
This should cure that pesky chime.
Be sure to read, understand and follow all safety rules pertaining to the safe use of firarms.

I turn off my chime to listen to tunes with the door open by pushing the door latch down (with door open)!
Just remember to push it back up before trying to close the door, because it won't close!

"removing the airbag and indicator from the bezel makes for an annoying sequence of dings" from a subsequent post.
Dammit man!
If the door ajar chime isn't the problem, why did you lie to us like that?
And because it's plain that you just don't know, read this and choke on it:
CHIME WARNING SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The chime warning system uses a single chime tone generator that is integral to the Central Timer Module (CTM) to provide an audible indication of various vehicle conditions that may require the attention of the vehicle operator. The chime warning system includes the following
major components, which are described in further
detail elsewhere in this service information:
� Central Timer Module - The Central Timer
Module (CTM) is located on the cowl side inner
panel, below the driver side end of the instrument
panel. The CTM contains an integral chime tone generator,
integrated circuitry, a central processing unit,
and the programming to provide all of the proper
chime warning system features based upon the monitored
inputs. The CTM circuitry monitors hard
wired switch inputs as well as electronic messages
received over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus network from other electronic
modules in the vehicle.
� Door Ajar Switch - Door ajar switches are
integral to each door latch. These switches provide
inputs to the chime warning system indicating
whether a door is opened or closed.
� Headlamp Switch - The headlamp switch is
located on the instrument panel outboard of the
steering column. The headlamp switch provides an
input to the chime warning system indicating
whether any interior or exterior lighting is turned
On or Off.
� Ignition Switch - A key-in ignition switch is
integral to the ignition switch. The key-in ignition
switch provides an input to the chime warning system
indicating whether a key is present in the ignition
lock cylinder.
Hard wired circuitry connects many of the chime
warning system components to each other through
the electrical system of the vehicle. These hard wired
circuits are integral to several wire harnesses, which
are routed throughout the vehicle and retained by
many different methods. These circuits may be connected
to each other, to the vehicle electrical system
and to the chime warning system components
through the use of a combination of soldered splices,
splice block connectors, and many different types of
wire harness terminal connectors and insulators.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring
information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, further details
on wire harness routing and retention, as well as
pin-out and location views for the various wire harness
connectors, splices and grounds.
The CTM chime warning system circuitry and the
integral chime tone generator cannot be adjusted or
repaired. If the CTM or the chime tone generator are
damaged or faulty, the CTM unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
The chime warning system is designed to provide
an audible output as an indication of various conditions
that may require the attention or awareness of
the vehicle operator. The chime warning system components
operate on battery current received through
a fused B(+) fuse in the Junction Block (JB) on a
non-switched fused B(+) circuit so that the system
may operate regardless of the ignition switch position.
The chime warning system provides an audible
indication to the vehicle operator under the following
conditions:
� Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC)
Reset - The Central Timer Module (CTM) chime tone
generator will generate one chime each time a Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus
message is received from the optional CMTC indicating
that the CMTC has been reset.
� Door Ajar Warning - The CTM chime tone generator
will generate a chime tone to announce that a
hard wired input from any door ajar switch indicates
that a door is open with the ignition switch in the On
position and the vehicle speed is zero kilometers-perhour
(zero miles-per-hour). The chimes will continue
to sound until all doors are closed, until the vehicle
comes to a complete stop, or until the ignition switch
is turned to the Off position, whichever occurs first.
� Fasten Seat Belt Warning - The CTM chime
tone generator will generate repetitive chimes to
announce that a hard wired input from the seat belt
switch to the Electro-Mechanical Instrument Cluster
(EMIC) indicates that the driver side front seat belt
is not fastened with the ignition switch in the On
position. Unless the driver side front seat belt is fastened
the chimes will continue to sound for a duration
of about seven seconds each time the ignition
switch is turned to the On position, or until the
driver side front seat belt is fastened, whichever
occurs first. This chime is based upon a PCI data bus
chime request message input to the CTM from the
EMIC, but is not tied to the operation of the EMIC
�Seatbelt� indicator.
� Head/Park/Courtesy Lights-On Warning -
The CTM chime tone generator will generate repetitive
chimes to announce that hard wired inputs from
the driver door ajar switch, headlamp switch, and
ignition switch indicate that the exterior or courtesy
lamps are turned On with the driver side front door
opened and the ignition switch in the Off position.
The chimes will continue to sound until the exterior
or courtesy lamps are turned Off, until the driver
side front door is closed, or until the ignition switch
is turned to the On position.
� Key-In-Ignition Warning - The CTM chime
tone generator will generate repetitive chimes to
announce that hard wired inputs from the driver
door ajar switch and the ignition switch indicate that
the key is in the ignition lock cylinder with the
driver side front door opened and the ignition switch
in the Off or Accessory positions. The chimes will
continue to sound until the key is removed from the
ignition lock cylinder, until the driver side front door
is closed, or until the ignition switch is turned to the
On position, whichever occurs first.
� Overspeed Warning - The CTM chime tone
generator will generate repetitive chime tones at a
slow rate to announce that a PCI data bus vehicle
speed message from the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) indicates that the vehicle speed is over a programmed
speed value. This feature is only enabled
on a CTM that has been programmed with a Middle
East Gulf Coast Country (GCC) country code.
� Warning Chime Support - The CTM chime
tone generator will generate a single chime to
announce that a PCI data bus chime request message
input has been received from the EMIC or the
Airbag Control Module (ACM). These chimes provide
an audible alert to the vehicle operator that supplements
certain visual indications displayed by the
EMIC. Supplemented indications include the following:
− The �Airbag� indicator is illuminated. The
ACM sends a chime request to the CTM at the
same time it sends an airbag lamp-on request to
the EMIC. The chimes will continue to sound for a
duration of about four seconds each time the indicator
is illuminated or until the ignition switch is
turned to the Off position, whichever occurs first.
− The �Check Gages� indicator is illuminated.
The EMIC sends a chime request to the CTM. The
chimes will continue to sound for a duration of
about two seconds each time the indicator is illuminated
or until the ignition switch is turned to
the Off position, whichever occurs first.
− The �Low Coolant� indicator is illuminated
(diesel engine only). The EMIC sends a chime
request to the CTM. The chimes will continue to
sound for a duration of about two seconds each
time the indicator is illuminated or until the ignition
switch is turned to the Off position, whichever
occurs first.
− The �Low Fuel� indicator is illuminated. The
EMIC sends a chime request to the CTM. The
chimes will continue to sound for a duration of
about two seconds each time the indicator is illuminated
or until the ignition switch is turned to
the Off position, whichever occurs first.
− The �Low Wash� indicator is illuminated. The
EMIC sends a chime request to the CTM. The
chimes will continue to sound for a duration of
about two seconds each time the indicator is illuminated
or until the ignition switch is turned to
the Off position, whichever occurs first.
− The �Trans Temp� indicator is illuminated
(automatic transmission only). The EMIC sends a
chime request to the CTM. The chimes will continue
to sound for a duration of about two seconds
each time the indicator is illuminated or until the
ignition switch is turned to the Off position, whichever
occurs first.
− A turn signal indicator is illuminated after the
vehicle has surpassed a programmed speed and
distance. The EMIC sends a chime request to the
CTM. The chimes will continue to sound until the
turn signal is turned Off.
− The �Water-In-Fuel� indicator is illuminated
(diesel engine only). The EMIC sends a chime
request to the CTM. The chimes will continue to
sound for a duration of about two seconds each
time the indicator is illuminated or until the ignition
switch is turned to the Off position, whichever
occurs first.
The CTM provides chime service for all available
features in the chime warning system. The CTM
relies upon its internal programming and hard wired
inputs from the door ajar switches, the headlamp
switch, and the key-in ignition switch (ignition
switch) to provide chime service for the head/park/
courtesy lights-on reminder, the key-in ignition
reminder, and the door ajar warning. The CTM relies
upon electronic message inputs received from other
electronic modules over the PCI data bus network to
provide chime service for all of the remaining chime
warning system features.
Upon receiving the proper inputs, the CTM activates
the integral chime tone generator to provide
the audible chime tone to the vehicle operator. The
chime tone generator in the CTM is capable of producing
a single short beep and repeated chime tones
at two different rates, slow or fast. The slow chime
rate is about fifty chime tones per minute, while the
fast chime rate is about 180 chime tones per minute.
The internal programming of the CTM determines
the priority of each chime tone request input that is
received, as well as the rate and duration of each
chime tone that is to be generated.
The hard wired chime warning system inputs to
the CTM, as well as other hard wired circuits for this
system may be diagnosed and tested using conventional
diagnostic tools and procedures. See the owner�s
manual in the vehicle glove box for more
information on the features provided by the chime
warning system.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CHIME WARNING
SYSTEM
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, further details
on wire harness routing and retention, as well as
pin-out and location views for the various wire harness
connectors, splices and grounds. The hard wired
chime warning system inputs to the Central Timer
Module (CTM), as well as other hard wired circuits
for this system may be diagnosed and tested using
conventional diagnostic tools and procedures.
