2002 7.3 skipped while raining/makes 25 beeps when started

Last Monday on a 60 miles trip while raining truck skipped 5 times.2 of the times when I turned the wipers back on.I've drove it several times since,not skipping on dry road.
Another problem/question:Today (Sunday)I started truck up it beeped 25 times.It will do 5 beeps pause then 5 more until 25 beeps are completed?This is every time you cut it off and re-start?
Thanks

About every 30 minutes......

Because your airbag light is burned out in the cluster.

Can't help you with the beeping but the wiper/skip is classic CPS issue.

The beeping is for the airbag light as previously mentioned. The seemingly most common cause of the airbag light is the bulb in the passenger airbag switch being burned out. There is a write up here somewhere for how to fix it, but pull the codes to make sure there are no other problems.

Yup, ..it was my airbag. Very simple job. Find a 12v led bulb and solder it in...

It looks like my airbag light bulb in the instrument cluster is out. I noticed it when i starting hearing the "beeps." Does anyone have pics/instructions on pulling the cluster to replace the bulbs?Thanks again

I had a few I’ll see if I can find them, photobucket is being dumb so I need to move things over to I think Flicker but you basically remove the radio and dash bezel

Thank you!! 5 beeps, 5 times. My airbag light stays on because of a glitch when my aftermarket alarm and remote start was installed. I never though to check the passenger side! Will be doing this. Thanks for the info!
