Default 99 Ram warning beeps??

I have a 99 Ram 1500 4x4 with a 5.9 ltr motor and an automatic. The issue I've been having is, when I start the truck, after about 30-60 seconds, I get a series of about 6 to 8 beeps and I don't know what they are for. It's not the seat belt warning beep, or the low fuel beep or the key in the ignition beep, can someone tell me what these beeps are for? I do NOT have any check engine lights on and the truck runs perfect. Also, sometimes when going down the road, I will get the same series of beeps. Please help me figure out what these beeps mean and what to do to get it to stop.

Thank You

Our trucks don't do anything with beep codes...... got an aftermarket alarm on there by any chance?

Honestly I don't know if there is an aftermarket alarm. I've only owned the truck for about 2 months now and was never informed of any when I purchased it. I'll have to check.....

i recently had a "no bus" in the odometer. it would crank up and run, all lights on dash on. all gauges dead. after about 10-20 seconds of running it would ding - ding about 5 times and then flash no-bus.

i don't know what the beeps mean.

IIRC, the beeps are there so you look at the dash for warning lites, like CEL for instance. Make sure all the lites work. Other than that, check for any codes. In this fashion for starters, https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...code-list.html

Just a wild guess, but check your dash again. My brother has I think a 2001 jeep grand cherokee that has an airbag warning light on the dash and it beeps constantly as you are going down the road not just one time when you start it, but every few minutes it beeps again.

Air bag module will chime when there is a fault and the indicator lamp is not functioning. Look for the light to prove out when you start the truck up. If it does not illuminate there is the beginning of your problem.

Mine only beeps on low fuel....which happens far too often!

Happens about 1/8 tank left. How much gas you got?

And for trhe record...."E" does NOT mean "enough"......
