So I removed the door chime relay due to these problems:
1. Wouldn't stop ding-ing!
2. No interior lights
3. Digital clock flashing
4. Passenger side door lock is acting like a slave to driver's side (if I unlock the driver side then lock the passenger side it will lock and then unlock itself i.e. back to whatever position the driver's side is at)
but I miss my lights and clock. Can I snipe a wire to stop the door chime and get my lights and clock back on or is it a bad relay?

Sounds like two different problems.

The lights/dinging sounds as if you have a problem with the door/hatch grounding switches that operate the interior lights. Brown/white wires should be grounded only when a door or the hatch is open. Another possibility is a short circuit to the body on the power wire for the light above the rear view mirror - pretty common.

Lock problem sounds like door lock switch/wire problem. The system tries to ensure that the door locks match. If they don't match (if the driver's door is unlocked or the switch/wire makes it appear to be unlocked) the passenger door will immediately unlock.

I checked the light over the rear view mirror and it seems to be intact. How do I access the brown and white door/hatch grounding wires?
