What would cause the chime with the key in ignition in my 1991 lx 5.0 foxbody to sound weird it was normal them all of a sudden it sounded like it was getting weak? What does it mean? Car battery Still has lots of power starts up fine just that sound is weird. Any ideas?

Is it loud or muffled with the o-ring?

It’s as loud as it should be just as when it was new.....
Not muffled but not blasting loud either..
Loud enough to hear it without having to think about it...... If that makes sense. Lol

Two big wins on Stangnet today...A door chime fix, and an emergency brake cable hitting a driveshaft making unwanted sounds. Things are happening around here. Learn something every day

Did the fix on mine today also and I’ll echo this. You can hear it and it’s clear, but not super loud.

Just fixed mine following the video, except I went to ACE Hardware and bought a Danco #64 "O" Ring Stk# 35778 B for $1.39 vs buying a qty of 10 from the site that the video shows! for $8+ .
