man, if i had stuff pulling at my battery for as long as it takes me to wash/detail my truck, it'd never start again!
as for the dinging ... i don't know how to fix it ... mine doesn't ding, but i'm sure someone will be able to help you out.
doesn't it get wet if you're washing your truck with the door open?
i like to listen to music while i'm detailing too, but i just lug a boombox out there and keep it on in my garage.

I tried doing that but ran into problems. I found that when I leave the key on the "on" position, my truck would stall out when I would go to start it initially. Then when I would try again, it would turn right over. When I told the dealer what was happening, they told me that I should NEVER leave the key on the "on" position. They said it messes up the computers in the truck and could lead to bigger problems. Now, I just leave it on "ACC" and deal with the bing. From what I was told, I think it is worth it.
If you're only looking to stop the dinging why not temp. disable the door pin switch.
In my jeep when I take the doors off, I have to do the same thing to keep the dome lights off while you're driving!
Youu can easily add switches to any door pin you're trying to disable and just run wire leads to wherever you want to mount the switch.
Hope this helps

Doesn't look easy to do
Just erased my whole post.... The door switch is a momentary normally open pushbutton on the B pillar just under the door latch. It has a rubber boot covering it.
You could easily make a C-clamp out of a piece of wire to keep it depressed while the door is open, but you run the risk of forgetting the clamp there and closing the door on it.
I don't like the idea of popping a hole into the sheetmetal in the chassis to mount a switch close to it either, and the plastic cover on the inside of the B pillar actually covers the seat belt tensioning mechanism. I don't know if wires could be easily routed through there.
I am pretty sure that the wires for the switch run down and underneath the door sill. The is probably a harness loaded with wires there for all kinds of electrical that run to the back of the truck. Isolating those two wires might be a challenge.
