Did I hear a chime in my '01 PT Cruiser?

At least two times recently, I thought I heard a chime ringing in my
Cruiser when I started it. Not the little bell you hear all the time,
but a chime like you'd hear on a better clock with an electronic
movement.
Did I??

I've never heard it on our 2010 PT Cruiser.
Maybe the color makes the difference?
Mine is Inferno Red.

it might chime when the low tire light comes on too.

I have had 4 92 Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth Grand Something or others, and if
ANY gauge or warning light comes on there is an accompanying chime.

What is currently driving me nuts is Windshield Washer. Easily fixed.

The last one...the oil pressure gauge would drop to 0 after the engine was
fully warmed, and every time there would be a chime and "Check Gauges"
would appear on the dash. NOT so easily fixed...

That could very well be the sender itself due to an internal leak
(inside the sender - which can put equal pressure on the *other* side of
the diaphragm, thus nulling out the pressure on the side that is
supposed to be pressurized. Try replacing the sender. Hopefully that's
what it is rather than a true pressure drop.

That van has long since met it's maker...2 years ago. The "new" one (92
Grand Caravan) doesn't have this problem...yet...
