I've recently had the same problem and found the cause of the chime. I created the problem when I removed the cylinder lock on my 2000 Ford Expedition. What happened was, upon removal of the key assembly, I accidently bent a contact that touched part of the key assembly. When I bent the contact back to its normal position the chime turned off. I tested it by removing the contact and the chime started up again.
This contact is located on the outer area of the key cylinder located on the steering column (not the removal key assembly). It "hooks" into a slot of the key cylinder and touches the long contact of key assembly. If you look at your key assembly you'll notice a plastic piece that has 3 contacts on it. One contact is long, the other 2 are close together. The long contact is the one that causes the chime. Verify there is a matching contact in the key cylinder that touches this long cylinder.
Hard to explain, but it might be your problem too. email me if you need further info. dreigle2001@Yahoo.com

Why wont ignition key open driver and passenger doors on your 1998 expedition?
We had a very similar problem with ours. After years of use, they become worn and don't work correctly. Sometimes you can wiggle them or pull them back slightly and get them to work. It is also possible that someone may have changed the ignition cylinder and key somewhere along the way.
