It's not the door chime, already took that little module out. I get a warning buzzer which beeps loudly when I turn the engine off. This happend about a year ago which was only due to my air bag light burning out. It did it a year ago after I turn the engine ON though, now it's the opposite and the air bag light is fine.....

BUT WHY?

I see or hear no problems. Any idea where this little buzzer thing is so I can just remove it? Thanks

for one, it sounds aftermarket... I've never ever heard my truck buzz..... Only the stock 90's chime

Well, it's not a buzz, that's my fault for calling it that. It's a loud ding, 5 in a row. It's not aftermarket either. I found info about it in my manual. The only info I could find is that it goes off when the air bag light has failed, though, which it hasn't this time.

maybe a sensor failed

I hope not or my truck is going to Beep loudly every 45min or so over and over until it's fired up

yo D;
I know you wrote "The only info I could find is that it goes off when the air bag light has failed, though, which it hasn't this time."

So, for my cloudy Mon mrong mind,
does the Air Bag lamp in instr cluster flash for approximately six seconds when the key is in RUN?

I took my dash out and reinstalled it now I've got some annoying ding like this as well. Never heard it before - where in the manual did it talk about that? I've got to remove whatever it is, or jamb a screwdriver through it's speaker - I don't care about airbags

have you checked to make sure its not an aftermarket radio?

Actually, the airbag light will randomnly flas while I'm driving. It is not suppose to beep loudly though as long as the bulb isn't burned out.

I can't remember , but I'll look it up again. It was somewhere small and not noticeable. I think it was in the section about the intrument panel. I would love to find where the speaker is and cut the damn wires. I already took out the door chime module...

Not a bad idea... I got a buddy with a nice camcorder. I'll try to borrow it soon and post it.

There's is an aftermarket Alpine in it, which i installed about a year and a half ago. It's not the radio though, I know that thing back to front and I havn't had any wiring issues I'm aware of recently either.

Testing, Wiring Diagram, Operation & Troubleshooting for 94-96 by Ford via Steve83 (Steve, That dirty old truck) at SuperMotors.net
The air bag diagnostic monitor (14B056) continually monitors all supplemental air bag restraint system components and wiring connections for possible faults in the system. If the air bag diagnostic monitor detects a fault in the supplemental air bag restraint system when the key is in RUN, a diagnostic trouble code will be displayed on the air bag indicator, located in the instrument cluster (10849). Performing system diagnostics is the main purpose of the air bag diagnostic monitor.

Note: The air bag diagnostic monitor does not deploy the air bag in the event of a crash.

The LH and RH primary crash sensors are hard wired to the air bag; therefore, the LH and RH primary crash sensors and RH safing sensor and bracket sensor determine when to deploy the air bag.

Features and functions of the air bag diagnostic monitor are described below.

* The air bag diagnostic monitor illuminates the air bag indicator for approximately six seconds when the key is in RUN and then turns the indicator off. This shows that the air bag indicator is operational. If the air bag indicator does not illuminate or the indicator stays on or flashes at any time, a fault has been detected by the air bag diagnostic monitor.
* Diagnostic trouble codes may not be displayed for approximately 30 seconds after the key is placed in RUN. This is the amount of time the air bag diagnostic monitor requires to perform all tests and verify system faults, if present.
* Each diagnostic trouble code (a series of flashes and pauses of the air bag indicator) represents a two-digit number. Each diagnostic trouble code is always displayed at least twice. For example, a diagnostic trouble code 32 is displayed as three flashes, followed by a one-second pause, then two flashes, followed by a three-second pause.
* If a system fault is present and the air bag indicator is malfunctioning, an audible tone will be heard, indicating that system service is required. The tone is a series of five sets of five beeps. This does not indicate a diagnostic trouble code 55. If the tone is heard, the air bag indicator is inoperative and a system fault that requires service is present.
CAUTION: The thermal fuse does not blow (open) because of excessive current flowing through it. DO NOT attempt to jumper out the thermal fuse with a circuit breaker or any other type of fuse.
* If a fault exists that makes unwanted air bag deployment possible, the air bag diagnostic monitor has an internal thermal fuse that will blow (open) automatically. This removes all power to the air bag deployment circuit.
* The air bag indicator will flash the appropriate diagnostic trouble code to indicate the suspect circuit. If the indicator is malfunctioning the tone will be heard. * Diagnostic trouble codes are prioritized numerically so if two or more different faults occur at the same time, the fault having the highest priority will be displayed first. After that fault has been corrected, the next highest priority fault will be displayed.
* The air bag diagnostic monitor includes an internal backup power supply. This feature provides sufficient backup power to deploy the air bag in the event the battery or battery cables are damaged in an accident before safing and primary crash sensors close. The backup power supply will deplete its stored energy approximately one minute after the positive battery cable is disconnected.

How the Air Bag Supplemental Restraint System Operates
The air bag supplemental restraint system has two main parts. One part is the air bag system with the driver air bag and inflator located in the center of the steering wheel. The second part is the electrical system, which has impact sensors, and a diagnostic module, and backup power supply. The diagnostic module monitors its own internal circuits and the supplemental air
bag electrical system readiness, including the impact sensors, the system wiring, the air bag system readiness light, air bag power, and the air bag ignitor.
The air bag system uses a readiness light and a tone to indicate the condition of the system. The readiness light is in the instrument cluster. When you turn the ignition to the ON position, this light will illuminate for approximately six (6) seconds and then turn off. This indicates that the
system is operating normally. NOTE: Maintenance of the air bag system is not
required.
A problem with the system is indicated by one or more of the following: the readiness light will either flash or stay lit, or it will not light, or a
group of five beeps will be heard.

Damn you have useful information... thanks man. So, basically speaking I have a malfunction of some kind involving the airbag. Not a surprise... I wonder how I make it quit though........:rofl:
