Hello Carl,
I have the same problem with my 2002 Sedona and just discovered how to repair it today. On my van I noticed that when I pushed out on the driver door with my knee or pulled out on the door handle without opening the door the chime would come on. The door when shut wasn't depressing the indicator button on the jamb in far enough.

I was able to glue a 1/8 inch thick piece of plastic on the door where it hits the button to push it down farther, and the "dinging" stopped.

I hope this helps.

Mike

Check your brake fluid. If it is low it will turn on the light and buzzer.
