Anybody have an idea why my 2008 C3500HD dings at me 4 times just about every time I make a right turn at speed? nothing shows on the information display.

I don't think so, but will pay more attention, if it does light a light it clears before I can complete the turn and look at the dash.

No ABS light? No "brake" light? Could be a bad ABS sensor or hub.
While I have you on the line, can you give me some idea why I cannot put my truck in elevated idle? as instructed I put the accelerator to the floor and hit the brake three times, every time I get an elevated idle off message.

I think some codes will prevent the elevated idle. Maybe see if the chimes are related buy checking for codes

I was paying close attention today and I did read "passenger door" It comes and goes so fast I did not get the read it all but assume it is "ajar"
It is back to normal by the time the steering wheel would be where I could normally read the display, so I guess that mystery is solved.
I will see if there are any codes

DTC's will prevent elevated idle and remote starting capabilities, IIRC. I say that because I have a bad #8 GP and it kills the truck's remote start capability, after engine startup, by killing the engine, and it also doesn't allow for elevated idle, either. 👍🏻

I will check the codes, remote starting is working normally, I had a "did not warm up fast enough" code the other day and cleared all the codes so I don't think I have any, but will look.

Sorry, that's far above my pay grade. I think the guys are on the right track, though. Check codes first.
