The chime unit (blue box 7 flat connectors) in my 88 is drawing current all the time. I dont think it should be doing this and I want to replace it if I can. Question is where do I get one??

Part number is 10037041 but I already tried gmpartsdirect and they dont have it.

 

you might be able to find one from classic industries....i dont know the website but you can find it somewhere.....


mine annoyed me so much i just took it out and threw it about as far as i could

 

Think I tried to get rid of it a few years ago and something else didn't work and I had to put it back. Headlights, signal lights or something. Can't remember.


Should be able to get one at the junk yard for cheap.

 

Ok so I just checked my helms manual and this item along with some others (headlight door controler) are solid state electronics that always draw power...

is that right?

I searched the board and found someone that said that anything under 15mA of draw with the key "off" is normal. I will check this tonight.

 

I have a couple of these chime units that came off of camaros that I will give you but can't tell you if they are the same for the firebird. I'll check the part no. in the morning and let you know.

 

they are different -- dont bother.

 

88305tpiT/A,

Did you find a source for one yet? If you do please let me know I also need one for my '88 GTA.

Thanks

 

No. I stopped looking for the moment as I need to put the car back on the road.

 

Hi All,
I just replaced my chime unit this past year. The unit is readly available from you local Chevy dealer. My orginal was drawing exessive current.

 

Where is the unit in our cars anyway? I wanna tear it out.
