I believe if you get an aftermarket headunit, that chime will go bye-bye

I might be talking out of my nether-regions, here, but I BELIEVE the '04 GMs have LOTS of "auto accessories" included in the deck, from chime to domelight, from Big Brother to XM... (They started doing this around that year, I think...) You can't simply "disable" one of them or the other, without losing them ALL.
There is a HUGE and expensive harness made for relocating the deck to under one of the seats, to allow the owner of the truck to install an aftermarket deck.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

You are correct Dave. In 03 they changed their system to be controled by a databus system. If you put an aftermarket head unit in without the chime module harness, you will lose the retained accessory power system. The chime is more than just for door ajar. It also chimes if you leave your lights on, leave your key in the ignition, and for the fuel level or any other warning situation. I wouldn't recommend disabling it.

I lost my door chime in my car and I want it back  . I used the relocation harness on my 2002 Cavalier when I installed my new headunit. I have the factory radio in my trunk now. The problem is that I have all my speakers hooked up to an amp. Is there a wire I could splice off of at the factory radio and wire it to a tweeter or speaker to mount under my dash?

URanch are you trying to eliminate the door open with key in ignition chime? If so maybe one of the alarm guys can help us identify the wire inside the lock mechanism that shows the truck that the door is open. The only problem with this will be your RAP (retained accessory power) will not think you have opened the door. The radio will remain on untill the BCM times out. I don't remember how long it takes, no longer than 20 minutes. It being a diesel the 2 batteries should not have a problem with this. If nobody can help find this wire, I will try and find out the next time we have one of those vehicles in the shop. And as for you Iknowitall you will have to mount a speaker under the dash somewhere, and run wires from the speaker to the factory radio, and connect it to the front left channel.

Notes: On base model trucks the door trigger wires are in the lt. blue plug at the BCM, pins B4 and A5. On 4dr trucks the LR door trigger is lt. blue/black, pin A3, and the RR is lt. GREEN/ black, pin A2. They are in the purple plug at the BCM. Use all wires and diode isolate.
The BCM (Body Control Module) is under the driver side dash. It has 6 plugs in it, the purple plug is on the back This info was found on this site, under the alarm wiring for your truck. It seems to me that you should be able to figure out which location is the drivers door, B4 or A5. you can try cutting the wire to see if this will solve your problem. If you do cut it, make sure you cut it far enough back from the plug that you can reconnect it. Do not cut it right at the plug. You do not have to diode isolate, those instructions were to connect an alarm.

Thanks another-kelly but the only problem is that I already have everything installed. I have the relocation harness installed along with the factory radio in the trunk. Im not going to rip it out. But back in the days, I didnt know their was a harness that would eliminate the relocation. Anyways, I am an idiot you are correct. Since I have the drive side speaker ran to an amp and not the headunit, thats why I dont have the door chime. Now with my others car, she had the same exact installation done on hers dealing with the relocation. Her speakers were ran to the headunit though. Her door chime worked perfectly fine BUT when you turned the car off, there was a constant static from the driver side speaker. Now I know those cars have the "radio on until door is opened" feature. Since that feature is with the factory radio, the music is coming from the aftermarket radio, and that headunit turns off when the car is turned off, that would be the cause for the static. What I was thinking about doing was cutting open the relocation harness right where it gets to my dash ( I dont want to tear out the dash). Then I will cut the 2 wires for the driver side speaker. If I was to just splice into it, I would have music going through that speaker and I dont want that. So I will cut those wires and run the factory radio side of the wires to the tweeter which will be mounted up under my dash. Then I should have the door chime. But then I am afraid I will have the "radio on until door is opened" problem in that tweeter which I dont want.
