I'm not exactly sure wut category the chime light is under. I'd ask the honda dealership for that. But to try and help out...it is possible to disconnect the chime. I'm not sure where it's located for civics, but this is where is it for my old 89 accord. This is gonna be sorta hard to reach for cuz the compartment space is small. you gotta go on the floor of the car, thru the driver's side. Locate the little crawl space between the driver and passenger side. Pretty much the middle of the car. Feel around for a harness that's like a 8 pin harness, that met be disconnected. If so, reconnect it. It's gonna be hard to find the connection, so u just gotta feel around. That was for my old accord remember, so i'm not sure for ur civic, but it's worth a try. Good luck!
