Why are you beeping at meeeee!

[1991_Vn2nV]

My level 3 dash is beeping at me for some unknown reason

Its like 2 beeps then 3 quick beeps... When im driving or taking off or idling, whenever it damn feels like it!

Does anyone know or have a list of reasons why the cluster is meant to beep so that I can cross them off one by one?

[VLDavo]

hmmmm maybe it thinks u have no fuel....

Hand brake can do it - Have you got a VN Calais cluster?? I had 3 in the wagon over a short time as one kept beeping - found out it was a VP cluster.... So I pulled the little round beeper thingo and we played cricket with it and beep no more...

Nah it did that on the way to the servo and the light flashed with the fuel icon

Not handbrake either Cluster im not sure on... Its meant to be a VN Calais one but as I did not remove it from the vehicle myself (bought it off ebay), I cannot be 100% sure.

Im liking the cricket idea though Where abouts is the beepy thingy?

Take the lens off (3 scews) as you look at the front bottom centre. Small round silver thingo (5 cent diam) and about 10mm long and has 2 little prongs on it. - when you unplug it.

Easy as to rip out..... and it goes a long way if you hit it just right

most likely an electrical issue or a short somewhere

i'll be driving along, and the fuel, spd and coolant light will start flicking and beeping at me

then stops, then starts again

check all the plugs. it helped when i changed the battery terminals as they were old as hell

I have had the same deal on a level 2 cluster, the attention light comes on (the one that looks like the shape of Victoria with an exclamation point in it) for well over a year now, nothing has gone wrong really.

[stockies]

Is all the wiring behind the cluster on the ok? I mean not shorting somewhere? Mabye need to resolder something in the cluster?



Also do lvl 3 clusters beep when you throw a fault code???

No he means the one shaped like Victoria LOL! I should check mine and see if its the shape of QLD.

I dont think so? Although mine hasnt thrown a fault code since I replaced the o2 sensor.

No, looks more like the shape of Victoria to me. I'd hate to have one shaped like QLD though, may as well just slam my car into a wall and get it over with

Yeah the engine light has been going on and off for over a year now. No probs. It seemed to do it after i had the chip tuned. Apparently it's a common problem.

[ashzv6]

im pretty sure its a blown handbrake light
i had the same problem

[Haydz]

i also had the same problem. about a month ago. holden in all theyre smarts must have wired some sort of relay. because if your handbrake globe isnt connected properly you will always get a random beep. i drove with it for a month until i worked out the problem. but this was on a vr same thing i think. if not just try all the possibilities. there are about 6 let me know if you want them i have them in a book. somewhere.

Its common after people install pacemakers and exhaust, its got to do with the oxygen sensor not heating up enough.

[Danniboy]

i had the same problem just last month.. one of the tracks for the handbrake is probably craked an it thinks that the handbrake is on or somthing.. i just scratched the paint off an re connected it with wire...its a bit more complicated then that.. but it never does it anymore.. if you need any help just pm me.. cya

[Danniboy]

awww yea an if case you think im a dodgy guy.. it was my dad that did it an hes an electrician so if you need any help just let me kno

[timmy_tam]

a friend of mine who worked at holden said that the engine light (The orange one with the ! in the middle) could be related to the o2 sensor

mines been going on and off for a long time now

what really bugs me is i'll be driving, and the park brake, coolant and one more

will come on and just flash like nuts for no reason

does the lights dim? it obviously doesnt have enough power to run the cluster when this happens because it happened to me when my alternator was on its way out, exactly like you said.... except i got stuck on the side of the road at 3am 1 suburb away from my house
