    Default What is the Beep, Beep, Beep

    My car will sometimes, after 30 minutes of driving, give out 3 Beeps. There is no message displayed or anything. What could it be?

    1 minute before the hour. That is to remind you of news at the top of the hour.

    Default Have you read your manual? it describes these things

    If no manual (s) check on e-bay or see if you can order from the dealer.

    Default geeze

    3 beeps means clock signal, beeps before the hour as prev post stated

    and its not for ice warning as thats a dull gong rather then 3 beeps.

    u can turn it off by pressing the s/r button on obc when its showing the time

    Default Thanks NETMGR

    I appreciate the quick and precise response. You must be one of the more technical posters on this site. I am interested in posting with the technically cabable. Some of my posts go unanswered. I think it is the lack of technical knowledge. I have more technical questions and please answer if you can.

    Default hey shade,

    some questions may go unanswered because the people with that particular knowledge might not be able to look all the time. I wont post anything unless I know, or can be a smartass, or have half a clue. Everything I know I learned on here or by experience, I am VERY thankful that I havent learned everything from my own experience. Some things I think I would rather sell my car for rather than take the challange on...such as the infamous heater core. Pouring in a bottle of goop sounds really good but dont really want to try it...but I might...idonno.
