At random times throughout my drive i get 5 sets of 5 slow beeps from some buzzer. it sounds like a seat belt warning or a door warning or something. if any one has any idea what it is and how to stop it i would appreciate it.

does your check engine light come on when you just turn the key onto the "on" position like it should? someone may have taken your bulb out. if thats the case there is a little beeper, in the dash near the radio

theres no beeper in place of the CEL? :icon_confused:

im going to guess that the door ajar switch is sticking like they are notorious for doing on that generation of truck. try opening the door and spraying the latch down really well with your favorite spray lube. try and get it above, behind, and under the latch...be very liberal.

well, my check engine light is on all the time because my egr valve or sensor is bad, my seat belt light goes off as soon as i click the seat belt, and my airbag light is acting like its supposed to. i will try the lube in the door latch tomorrow or just find the dinger and clip the wires. thanks for the help. let me know if any one has any more ideas.

you could always pay the hour labor to have the ford shop hook the computer up and see whats causing the dinger...

or..... find where the beeping is coming from, find the biggest hammer you have, and "fix it" (wear safety glasses)
