    Smile Minor issue I hope to correct

    After getting my 89 reatta back from the shop, I noticed that the system tone was faint. Ordinarly the tone volume would be a (7) on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the loudest. Currently it is about a (1). I can't seen to find the control to turn it up.

    Could someone chime in and tell me where the volume control is so I can adjust this.

    I HATE that chime. I turn mine off. Don't think there's a 'volume' control, but could be wrong.
    Usually when the chime gets weak, it's the chime unit that's shot.

    There is no volume control, just a simple on/off selectable under the options screen on the CRT (system tone).

    May be that the piezo "buzzer" or the driver circuit has died, just coincidentally with the service done. If you are talking about the chime (not the beeper on the CRT), then that is another separate module that is probably going bad.
