What is your question?
Recently purchased 1996 T&C LXi from original owner. Garage kept well maintained only 77,000 miles. Car had not been driven for 6 months before I bought it. Installed new battery when purchased. When driving the chime goes off randomly for different lengths of time and will happen several times in a few minutes or maybe not again for several minutes. No other indicators, no lights flashing, instrument panel works fine. I have tried turning things on and off while the chime is on but can't get a relationship to the problem. Occasionally the chime will stop when I turn something on but I think it is coincidence. Instrument cluster was replaced about 4 years ago. I have replaced the C pillar light switches, the battery terminals even tried a different battery, no improvement. Does no power to the BCM for 6 months cause it to go bad? I am down to the BCM or seat belt module as the possible cause. I have only driven the van about 100 miles in 5 weeks. The longest drive was about 18 miles total. Thanks for any you can give.

96 should be OBD2 .. Suggest scan test to view BCM live data so problem may be isolated .. *Real* scanner required! Realistically, that's the only way to find these problems (IF) there are no 'obvious indicators' displayed, otherwise it's like looking for a needle in a stack of needles!
