instrument panel beeping?
Well the other dayI took out my instrument panel to try and change the green to blue, but gave up after I saw how much work it entitled... But now after everything is put back in place I hear a beeping sound when the engine is running... it beeps 4 or 5 times then stops then a few seconds later it does it again. But it stops after 5 minutes or so. And there is no check engine light or codes to be found... any help on finding out what it might be would be great!

You know, my '02 does this from time to time, most likely a diagnostic code. Mine will only do it once in a blue moon though, and the airbag light ain't on. It proves out but doesn't come on when it dings... never looked into it too much.
Does your bulb prove out?

Here is what the manual shows.
PROVE-OUT SYSTEM PROCEDURE
Prove-out system means to turn the ignition switch from OFF to RUN and visually monitor the airbag indicator. The airbag will light continuously for approximately six seconds and then turn off. If an airbag system fault is present, the indicator will either fail to light, remain lit continuously or light in a flashing manner. The flashing manner may not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has been turned from OFF to RUN. This is the time required for the diagnostic monitor
to complete the testing of the airbag system. If the airbag indicator is inoperative and an airbag system fault exists, a tone will sound in a pattern of five sets of five beeps. If this occurs, the airbag indicator will need to be serviced before further diagnosis can be done.

Holy hell I have been wondering what that was for years. It is 5 beeps then 5 sec. pause then 5 beeps. countinues this cycle 5 times.
So this just means that the airbag light is not working????
I just need to take out he insturment cluster and fix a light. Mine will just beep at random. Every once in awhile going down the road. Cant figure out any ryme or reason. Just 5 beeps 5 times.
thanks for this question. I always forgot to ask it on here.
