It is inside the body computer.
The chime is built into the body computer under the dash on the driver side, behind the fuse box.

Chime
Try turning the key to the on position then back to off 4 times, then press the driver's door lock button. You should hear a chime if it works.
The warning chime is on the instrument cluster. It needs to be disassembled to get to, and it cannot be disabled because it is tied in to the instrument cluster.
It is unlawful to not wear a seat belt while driving or riding in a car. Wearing the belt turns off the chime. Some vehicles (VW's for instance) will chime for about 3 minutes then the light goes out and the warning signal turns off.
look under the drivers seat and passenger seat and there should be a wire coming off the seat belt that you can unplug to stop the chime.
Check to make sure that the plug (there normally is a piece of plastic that pushes in the switch to make the chime go off) Go and push the button in by hand with your keys on if it goes off than this is the problem. If the chime does not go off after a few seconds than the problem is that the switch mechanism in the chime is malfunctioning and you need to go and pull the chime and either leave it out or replace it.
On my 94 xlt explorer the chime sound is coming from underneath the dash right above the left side of the hump in the floor. There is a grey plastic plug with several wires coming from it, plugged into a black plastic box. You can feel it vibrate so you know you've found it, very accessible.
Check the back for kinks
The door chime switch on a 96 ranger is part of the door latch mechanism. If your door chimes all the time when your driving try spray lube on the latch that should free it up.
