beeping" sound that is constant while driving

Hello- 04 expd eddy baure i get this beeping" sound that is constant for about 3-4 minutes and then stops and re-occurs every so often while driving. I have checked all doors, airbag light, parking break, ect. This is driving me nuts. I have no check engine light and when I check with the information center everything checks out OK.

Please help maybe i missed something-

Is it a loud beep like a seat belt reminder? Do you have your seat belt fastened?

Is your equiped with a DVD player? If so, you could have a warning beep coming from that.

Did someone leave something plugged into one of the power outlets that could be coming on with an alarm when you start your truck?

Is there a large piece of construction equipment following you in reverse? (Sorry had to throw that one in...)

Just a few ideas from left field. Sometimes another set of eyes helps.

Give it a try.....let us know what you find!

It might be the seat belt reminder but it keeps going for like 8 to 11 beeps then will stop. Wife saids if she hits the wiper button the beeps start again. No DVD
Parking break is all the way up
All doors closed
Seatbelts are fastened
I also get this weird noise from the overhead compartment where the rear AC controls are at, sound like something viberating for a second when the keys are put in the ignition.

Thanks-

Does your airbag light work at power-on?

The airbag system uses a 5 x 5 warning beep, repeated every 30 minutes, as a backup warning indicator, when the airbag lamp is inoperative and there is an airbag fault.

If it is the airbag light, I've seen some posts where they were able to replace the LED bulb in there that burned out, but the "recomended" fix is to replace the whole assembly for the airbag light/switch

Whoa, there....

Find out whether it works or not. I wasn't making a diagnosis, I was suggesting one possible reason for your beeping.

I was specifically referring tot he lamp in the cluster, not the PAD assy.

I would also take a look at the SRS airbag system. Usually only the light will flash or stay on when the SRS detects a problem within the system. However, if the SRS detects that the airbag light bulb is blown, or the circuit to it has a problem, then the SRS will sound a constant tone to warn you of the bad bulb.

The simple way to check it, is to see if the airbag light comes on when you first start the vehicle. If it doesn't, then that's the reason for the tone you're hearing.

How odd I should see this today my exp was doing the exact same beeping all day off and on yesterday. At first I thought it was my cell phone and a missed message warning, but nope, never have found it. So could it really be a bulb out? Never heard that in all the 6 years I have had this and bulbs have gone out before?

Replacing the whole cluster? That's a new one on me.
Take the cluster out yourself and just change the bulb.
Here's a pictorial in which it shows how to take the cluster out. Once it's out, give 1/4 turn on the ABS bulb socket and it should come out. The bulb pulls out of the socket.

Would the information center on the cluster have anything to do with the dealers answer
