I got off my lazy ass and decided to swap in the door lock actuator on the driver side of the Cougar. Grabbed a NOS one off EBay as the 50resto ones would last about a year and out. The door chime annoyed me to no end while swapping the actuator, so I wedged some plastic between the door and frame to shut it up.
My task completed, I removed the plastic shut the door and as I walked away I heard it. The chime. I pop the door open and push the signal pin on the frame in. The chime subsides. Close door again. Chime on. I did take note that the pin on the driver side does not stick out as far as that on the passenger. Never did. Is this adjustable? I pulled it apart for now.....

If it looks like this one just pull out on the brass center.
Interesting. I actually tried to back it off. It got tighter. Knowing my luck, it's cross threaded.
Hey just wondering if you're still interested in that Trunk lid. I can't pm you as your inbox is full, and this thread was pretty recent, so I thought it'd ask.
I barely hear my chime,, barely
the replacement door frame buttons are adjustable from what I was seeing today at autozone,, the universal replacement ones
im more interested in your door locks issue. I was going to buy a couple of those door lock solenoids you mentioned a few years ago.
