Default Replaced battery - constant chiming

I replaced my battery and now I hear a door chime when my door opens, but also I had a parking brake issue so I removed the fuse a while ago. But now as soon as the car starts moving the chime rings fast and endlessly.

Is there a way to disable chime or pull a fuse to disable chime bell.

So I realize now chime is because of park brake issue and warning on dash. But EPB is toast never to be fixed. Is there anyone who has successfully disabled the chime bell?

It is under dash..anyone know where and a pic if you have. If there is a wire I will snip and if not will take some foam over it to soften annoyance.

Plan B...crank tunes!!

NM - I pulled both connectors from EPB module behind Rear Electronics Module behind right side trunk panel. Chiming stopped but you lose cruise control

Make sure you have a clean and tight connection on the battery terminals. Parking Brake Fault is a symptom of a bad connection.
