Default interior chime

This chime stays on after I take the key out of the ignition, and I have to wiggle the ignition to make it stop, so must be a short,can I remove this chime and if so where is it. The chime does go off when I shut the door but when I open the door it comes on when the key is not in the ignition.
Lights are not on also when it does this. any help please.

I found the chime behind the radio decided to just unplug it, I don't think it is worth fixing the short if it isn't harming the ignition.

probably not a short, but a worn ignition switch.

ok unhooking the chime was not a good idea some how hooked into the trans, did not shift properly after unhooking. How funny is that.
