beeping noise help

Post by droz »

theres a beeping noise coming from my engine bay i dont exactly know where but its not always on, most of the time when ive stopped and idling i can hear it. the same beeping also starts when i am about to stall and voltmeter drops a bit.
none of the error codes on my cluster are flashing either. is this beeping normal?

    May be some sort of immobilizer/alarm system I suppose... but yeah usually most cars only beep in reverse unless someone has installed forward facing proximity sensors (basically reversing sensors for the front)
    I fix cars.

    As said it sounds like an alarm problem. Feed back to the alarm siren from an earth leak.
    I get it all the time.
