Re: '02 wrangler doors off lights on , anyone know of any solutions?

Yes, it kills that chime as well.

But, think about it, if the lights are on, and the door is closed, the chime
doesn't work anyway, it only chimes when the door is opened .and. the key is
off .and. the lights are on. Since the vehicle doesn't know the door is open
when the fuse is pulled, it won't know to ring the chime.
