Beeping coming from dashboard
Just today this beeping started coming from behind the dash of my 95 E150. It beeps for a second then 1/2 second pause then beeps again over and over. I have an after market radio but pretty sure it's coming from the dash not radio. Any advice? It is soooo annoying.

I confirmed it's coming from the dash not the radio (from behind the gauges) I did this by turning off the engine end and turning the key backwards so just the radio powers on, no beep. Then I turned the key to the number 2 position and sure enough when the dash lights come on so does the beep. What the heck could it be? The owner's manual says nothing.

My 99 did a buzzing. On the driverside door plunger there is 3 wires. One is for the buzzer and one is for the dome. I'll check and find out which one i cut. But it helps cause no more buzzer. And I never take my key out, I carry a key to unlock the doors

You are correct Thomabb. It's the airbag warning beep I just looked it up the owner's manual. Guess off to the dealer I go to have my wallet violated.

Do you know where it's located? If it's behind the gauges I'm not taking the whole dashboard apart.

Do you know where it's located? If it's behind the gauges I'm not taking the whole dashboard apart. Is there perhaps a fuse I can pull to shut this stupid thing up? I drive this van 9-10 hours a day 6 days a week and this beeping is really annoying.

Try posting this same question in the electrical/wiring forums here on FTE: Electrical Systems/Wiring - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums Someone there might be able to more closely locate it for you.

I don't think it is actually an airbag fault beep. I think it is an alarm to tell you the indicator bulb is burnt out. Just replace the bulb.

You were correct Thomabb it was just the bulb I replaced it and the beeping is gone. But now I created an even bigger problem, when puting the dashboard panel back on I touched the two cigarette lighter wires and now the cigarette
Lighter does not work. Of course the owner's manual is useless in locating the fuse. I found the fuse box under the hood but can't locate the correct fuse. Need help here ASAP as I need the 12 volt source to charge my phone everyday.
