Check inside the engine compartment on the left shock tower. There should be an engine information label which if you can read (usually very small) should tell you the spark plug gap. My 2001 shows it to be 0.050 inch gap, which just set on 4 new plugs and is excellent.
It means that the back sensor is bad or dirty is behead the rear wheel
You take it to chev dealer.

It might be a fault with the anti-theft feature. Ford has had several recalls due to this. Web search for safety recall on faulty key-in-ignition chime. I had the same problem with my 1998 Ford Explorer Sport although it started chiming all by itself. On my Exlorer there is a set of 5 wires in a yellow sheath running from the ignition module to a brown connection point/harness in a very uncomfortable position directly under the steering column above the pedals. I unplugged the connection at this point. This stopped the key-in-ignition chiming but I still get the chime alerts for headlights left on, initial chime when the key is turned. The pinging, or ringing chime comes from the multifunction computer located under the dash behind the radio. Hope this help.
Another possibilityIt could also be caused by a stuck door ajar sensor.See "Related Questions" below for much more about dealing with door sensors.
On one of my older Taurus' I simply followed the irritating noise to the source, up around in the neighborhood of the fuseblock.
There was a simple wire connection to pull off and the silence was golden.
Major information: The 90's series of Taurus's all had a weak ignition lock. Once it is worn it is possible to remove the key without the ignition switch being fully locked, when this happens the "key in" chime will sound, just as it does when you leave the key in the ignition. This has NOTHING to do with anything EXCEPT the ignition switch itself and is easily serviced by replacing the lock, a relatively simple procedure.
Trouble code P0730 means: Incorrect Gear Ratio
Easiest way: Get the entire replacement arm (not just the blade). Flip up the wiper and you should find a little tab on the under side where it's attached to the metal part of the arm. Push the tab down and everything should slide up. You will the rod with a hook at the end. The new wipers should slide into place with the hook over the top of the small plastic piece that is curved on one side and has a tab on the other. You'll hear a click when it snaps into place. That's basically it.... Of the cars I've owned, one of the easiest to replace wipers. (There are usually picture instructions in the replacement wipers if you get stuck, too.)

Are parts interchangable from a 1999 alero to a 2001 alero
The wire harness for the stereo is suitable for the stereo power. The "ignition" (ACC) wire that is convenient to use for the stereo/accessories is the power wire for the fan control knob. The fan control only gets power in "accessories" or "on" therefore is as good as a remote.

(Power pin, looking at the front of the fan control plug)
(To be sure you are using the right wire (before cutting it), insert accessory wire into the front of plug and see if the stereo works with the key in the ACC position.)
Sounds like it might be time to replace the front struts. They're like shock absorders, just more expensive. If the noise gets worse when you take a right hand turn, it could be the CV joint too.
Unplug the whole light assembly from the bottom front of the car it just pops out to replace the turn signal bulb-same on the rear but you have to remove the trunk lining first.
To reset the service indicator on 1998 Mercedes Benz C200 .
Turn the ignition key to position 2 and press the 0 on the left of the cluster twice.
Then turn the key to position 0
Then press and hold the 0 button on the left of the cluster whilst turning the key to position 2.
Continue holding the 0 button until you hear a signal or beep.
Release the 0 button after you hear the beep. Service indicator will then reset.

check for the fuse in the fuse box located in the engine compartement
you cannot replace the wheel bearings by themselves in a 4x4. they designed the hubs to have wheel bearings inside them. you must replace the whole hub assembly to get new wheel bearings. should run from 50-100 dollars a piece from a parts store, and about twice that at a dealer.
You need a 36mm socket and a breaker bar . Take the spline nut off the end of the cv shaft. I suggest doing this with the wheel still on the ground. Then jack the truck up. Remove the caliper and rotor, take out the three bolts holding in the hub. Be careful around the abs sensor. They are expensive. Installation is the reverse of removal. Torqe the spline nut to approx 180 ft.lbs.
Its underneath exhaust manifold on driver side . Take loose 2 bolts pull pipe to firewall. some cases exhaust mainfold must be removed.
Fuses. If fuses OK, read PCM datastream.
