Default Keep hearing a beep?

Ok at least 1 or 2 times a week while driving I can hear a muffled high pitched beep coming from the drivers side door? Its starting to get annoying? Could it be the door lock sensors? Or something for the remote.. Nothing found that would be beeping under seat or anywhere near the door.. Sounds like its in the door.. And its a random beep Anyone else have this happen? ( maybe the dealer or my wife has a hidden GPS unit hidden and its battery is going dead??? ) LOL

LOL.....maybe you should pull the door skin off and check out what may be in the door or at least drive around without the skin on to find the noise.

I had a "random" beep that was a rear brake light out. 1 to 2 times a week doesn't sound like the same thing (unless you don't use your brakes!), but perhaps a bad connection in one of them?

Just a thought, although not a likely solution....

Are you sure it's not the Oil Change chime? When you start your truck, does "Oil Change" illuminate on the LED where the mileage is shown? It does go away after 5sec and shouldn't make any noise while driving.... Low gas chime does the same but while driving.

Same with the brake light out. No dummy lights or anything. It took me awhile to put 2 and 2 together.... press brakes = ding.

Oil was changed 1000 miles ago.. I had a low washer fluid chime last week but this one is muffled.. Now my ears can be playing tricks on me and it just sounds like its coming from the door area... Ill drive without the radio for a few days to see again... Watch the stupid thing not make a sound now...

Maybe the FBI thinks your a terrorist and they stuck one of those tracking devices underneath your truck....lol I remember seeing a Yahoo news clip about some guy going into get his oil change done and found one of those things under his car. FBI came knocking on his door looking for the device back...doh..

Yeah I read that same story! haha, seems there was more to the story though... like he was a sex offender or drug dealer or something like that....
