Warning Beep - Holden Service is baffled! Wed, 31 August 2005 23:07 Go to previous message
Hi all

Could someone shed some light on this problem? I have a 2005 Astra Equipe (1.8L). Being an Equipe, it has ABS, Traction Control, cruise, and power windows. This is not the new shape, but the one that's been around since 1998.

Yesterday, I was waiting for my wife with engine off but keys in ignition (switched to off), listening to a CD. A loud, continuous beep came from under the dash & lasted for about 45 seconds and then stopped. It's of the same pitch as the 'door open' beep, but twice as loud. During the time it was beeping, I tried everything: I started the engine & stopped it, opened and closed doors, played with the stereo . . . Nothing helped.

I started driving straight to Holden Service and on the way, it did it again. Holden took a look and seemed puzzled. They didn't even seem to be aware that there was any other kind of warning beep installed on the car! Hooking it up to their computer, there was no problem found. While beeping, there were no dash warning lights.

As I'm writing, I'm wondering . . . could it have been coming, not from an under-dash beeper, but from the stereo - a malfunction in the stereo itself?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Mark.
