Everytime i start the truck, it beeps at me 5 times, then pauses for a second or two, then beeps 5 more times. It goes through this loop 5 times, for a total of 25 beeps. It has been doing this for a few years now, and it is starting to drive me crazy. It will even do it if i drive for more than 20 miles or so, it will go through the beeps while i'm driving. I know it is not the door chime. The sound is coming from the passenger side, in the cab, and i think its behind the plastic panel in the footwell to the right of the glove box.

95 Ranger XL, 3.0L, 4x4

Anyone have any idea's what this is, and how i can stop it?

 

fasten the passenger seatbelt and see if it stops.

 

Hi shadyEats,

I think pgw85706 is on track and I will also add that the connection that is suppose to be made to stop that annoying ding-a-linging in your truck is partally connecting @ start-up & internittantly disconnecting on the run and if you ranger is like mine...rust-o-plenty-a mundo!

 

I'll check it out in the morning and see if that works. I live in a dry area, so my Ranger does not have a rust problem, but the paint on the hood peels like a GM!

 

Oh, and Shady, welcome to FTE. I have found there is lots of knowledge here and these guys are more than willing to be helpful.

 

haha my truck does the same thing... I know what it is but can't find what i need to fix it. I hooked a scan tool up to it and it says i have an open ground in my SRS system(airbags). I couldn't find an open but the scan tool says its there. And that is the most annoying beep ever!!! look in your manual under warning chimes and you will see a thing that talks about the airbags and how often and how many times it beeps. fits the description perfect.

 

ford_racing_4_life, i think you might have solved it. The airbag was blown in the truck before i bought it.

Anyone got any ideas how to fix this without buying an airbag? they are over $500 last time i checked years ago.

 

After being pointed in the right direction by ford_racing_4_life, i searched this site and found the problem. Burnt-out airbag warning light. I love it when it costs less then a dollar to fix something.

 

Airbags came to mind here, too. I think your truck is not beeping 5 times, it's beeping 3+2 times. 32 means air bag problem.
Supporting evidence: I disconnected the airbag in my race car (92 Mustang) and he either (depending on his mood I guess) flashes the air bag light 3+2 times, or beeps exactly how you described.

p.s. I will be removing a "blue box" when I pull my dash again to get rid of my heater core & ducting & install gauges. Apparantly this will fix the problem. For your application, being a street truck, I guess you will still want your airbags to work?

 

I picked up a set of replacement airbags for my ford escort form a local junkyard for around $200. I believe they were used but checked out by a repair shop. Did not have much of a choice as I could not get an inspection sticker without it.

 

I have a 2002 Ranger with 4.0 sohc. the other day I started it and after about 5 seconds it started beeping. 5beeps 5times, no lights on dash. Got on this web site and red a couple of posts about this problem. Went out and disconnected the wires under seat and reconnected. Started truck, and no more beeps. Something to try. Worked for me.

 

Something to try. I had same problem. unplug connection under seat, plug back in. All I had to do to solve problem. Couldn't believe it.

 

I have a 1998 F150 that is having this problem. Are the wires under the driver seat or the passenger seat? Because I don't have any wires under the passenger seat, only under the driver seat. Should there be wires under the passenger seat?
