    Default Random Beeping Noise

    There is a random beeping noise that occurs. I have no idea what it means. It dosen't always make the same noise and what I mean by that is that the beeps are longer or fewer between each other. Anyone have any ideas??
    Its 1992 if that helps.

    Where does the beep come from? Under the driver's side dash (gong)? Sound system?

    Need a bit more info: where you are in the world/whether the car has OBC/model.


    best, whit

    i used to get these noises also. it comes from the speaker underneath the steering wheel. The key would be in the "on" position and I would get a 2000hz drone all the time, untill I started the car, or put it back to the off position. I disconnected the speaker. I don't know whats going on.

    I never had a problem with On Board Computer before. Nothing elese changed. No warning messages. Just Beeps. Some times it beeps once time all day. Some times dosen't beep for a few days.

    Faulty door switches can also trigger the "door open" message, just for a moment. Could be that it's registering a door open, and sounding the gong.
