Beeping From Cluster

[Ghettobean]

Hey guys,

Changed the globes in my triple gauges, pulled out main cluster then I started getting this beeping. It's like, beepbeepbeep........ beepbeepbeep. It's on non stop, until I turn the ignition fully on.

Any help would be great!

Also, would this drain my battery?

The dash beeps for 3 reasons.

Headlights, park lights, or foglights are still manually turned on

(warning you that you'll drain your battery)

Driver's side door is open and locked

(warning you that your keys are still in the ignition and you're about to lock your keys in the car)

When in reverse gear (slower beep, like a truck)

Back in it's day the Cefiro was aimed at the older crowd, well past their days of thunder.

It won't drain your battery, since when you close the door (even if you have they keys on you) the beeping will stop.

IT will only beep if both the keys are in the ignition (in any position except ON)

AND

the driver's side door is open.

It beeps when the doors are shut, key out, locked and alarmed. It's coming from inside the cluster, real fast 3beeps then a pause then more beeps. It only happened when I took the cluster out

[Nic_A31]

When you say "only happened when I took the cluster out"

Does that mean it's stopped after you put it back in?

There could be something else triggering it.

What year is your Ceffy?

If it's a late model, that beeper is likely to be rigged up to more triggers (ie seatbelt not on (shouldn't go off if they keys aren't in the ignition), boot open, etc).
