Thank you for posting! If you need more assistance please REPLY otherwise less then perfect feedback from you means I don't get paid.


Elaborate please, is the beepr inside the car going off while driving....is the alarm chimer going off when it's parked? What exactly is it doing and when?

Customer replied 290 days and 3 hours ago.

It beeps when the engine is on or off, while driving or sitting. It is like the seat belt beep but not steady. It is 3 beeps every few minutes. No dash warning lights.

Has the car had a keyless entry or any other electrical accessory added to it?

Customer replied 290 days and 3 hours ago.

I installed a cruise control switch several months ago.

Ok, that wouldn't cause it, just wanted to see if there was anything aftermarket that may be interfering.
Have you had a windshiled replaced within the last year and have you checked for any signs of water seepage into the under dash area that can effect the body control module on the driver side?
Also does the seatbelt warning light work properly as you latch and unlatch it?

Customer replied 290 days and 2 hours ago.

The windshield has not been replaced nor have there been any leaks. It hasn't rained here in a week. The seat belt light is working as is the seat belt beeper.

Does the dome lamp come on and off with all 4 doors as you open and close them?

Customer replied 290 days and 2 hours ago.

Just ran out and checked. No, it is not working!

Ok, check the dome fuse. If it's powered but not responding to any doors then you've got a body control computer issue.

Customer replied 290 days and 2 hours ago.

O.k., the dome light is now working as is the trunk light. The beeper is still beeping. Before I found the fuse to check it the dome light began working.

You have a short in there then that's causing this.....if the dome circuit is coming and going it sounds like a false "door open" signal is being read by the body module causing the warning chime. The body control module needs to b checked by the dealer, be sure you give them the notes of what we discussed here so they can cut out unneeded diagnostics and concentrate on the dome circuit to the BCM.
