oo ford x beeping from dash
hi guys, I have a 00 excursion and yesterday a beeping alarm started comming from my dash. This happened once before when I let it get low on oil but once I added oil it stopped. yesterday it was about 1 1/2 quarts low but after adding it the beeping continues. any suggestions?

I have my passenger side airbag unplugged but its been that way for about 3 years.
It has 5 beeps per cycle and does this 5 times before it stops. total lasts for about 1 minute and doesnt do it again until you shut it off and crank it back up.

i take it there's no telltale indicator in the instrument cluster when the beeps go off?
I was thinking maybe the seat belt receiver wasn't sending the signal that it was buckled? But that makes the seatbelt light flash with the beeps.
Just a thought

that beeping is when there is a fault with the airbag system and/or the air bag light does not work. the light should come on momentarily when the ignition is turned on, if it doesn't then thats at least one if not the only reason the light is on

I plead ignorance if the burnt out bulb is causing the problems, but if you have a few hours and are willing to get some DIN radio removal tools ($3 at autozone) the dash is pretty easy to take off, search the forum (or my posts) I replaced some bulbs a while ago and did a writeup on it.
oh, btw, when you pull out the bulbs, it looks like they are attached permanently to these plastic bases that you'd have to buy from ford - not true, pull the old glass part out, buy a replacement generic bulb from an auto-parts store, and stick is back in the holder with some little grease they use for light bulbs.
Hope that helps!

its the same chime as when your door is open but 5 chimes, stops for about 2 seconds then 5 more chimes. it repeats this 5 times total time approx 1 min. then stops. I took the fuse out this morning (on my truck its the #22 fuse)
and it stopped beeping but then my air conditioner fan blower stopped working as well, I put the fuse back in and it started again.
