Muted/Shortened Chime
Hi all,
'16 E63 Wagon with <20k miles
This is my baby and she lives in the garage.
A few months ago the chime when you enter the car or turn it on got shorter or cut off.
So instead of 'dong' it cuts out 'don-'
I've been racking my brain and searching the web for a while without an answer. Took it to the dealer and they are being very stubborn 'nothing is wrong' - 'we can't take it apart to look for something that isn't there' - 'there's no fault' - etc...
This is literally my 15th benz, I have an E300 and a C300 currently as well , so I know what the chime sounds like.
Dunno why, but it's driving me crazy like it's broken![smash](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smashfreak.gif)
If anyone has heard this before or can shed some light I'd be thankful.![bow](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/bowdown.gif)
I'm gonna go pick it up from the dealer tomorrow.
First thing I'm gonna check is the fuse box for the instrument cluster - long shot I think.
If I'm not making sense I'll have to put the e-classes next to eachother and do a short video comparison lol

Have you done a battery pull? Let it sit overnight without the battery connected

Thanks for your input!
Surprised no one thought of it. I actually installed a trickle charge cable not too long ago and it didn't work then. Guess the prolonged disconnect was important.
Thanks again!

You are welcome -- sounded like the bcu (body control unit) just needed to be reset
some service guys are just idiots
