Strange faint double beeping sound
Hi there, lately i have noticed a strange faint beeping sound coming from my dash area. Its like beep beep, pause, beep beep, pause, and i bet most of you will say it is the power steering computer or something, but i dont think it is.
It's like super faint, barely noticable, but it is to me and i want to fix it as it most likely is trying to tell me something is wrong. The tones aren't even super steady, its like its trying to beep louder but it can't. Any ideas? thanks guys.

The power steering computer is the only stock computer that beeps in a pattern:
Is your speedo working correctly??? if it is then your power steering computer may need rebuilding/repalcement (I do have rebuilt FC power steering computers on my webstore now available).
You can check/confirm that the power steering computer is the the item causing the beeps, by unplugging the power steering computer and see if that stops the beeps.
2-beeps, pause, repeat - in case abnormality of engine speed signal:
The buzzer sounds twice and repeats when the vehicle speed signal is missing input and/or no engine speed signal is found (short circuit, broken wire, etc.)
