1983 Other Nissan Models Four Wheel Drive Manual 142000 miles

My 1983 Nissan Pick-up truck has a constant chime-chime ringing sound after I put the key in the ignition. It does not go off until I remove the key. What might this be?

Hi there,

from memory some of these early cars had these chimes set up so you would not lock the keys in the car, it was a reminder to take the key.
