5 beaps repeating, over and over!

Hi everyone, I recently changed my steering wheel for an aftermarket one, and the supplied boss kit is a little sus because I had to remove metal before I could even fit it on. Now, the indicator cancel ring, which used to be as smooth as a babies butt, feels like i'ts seizing intermittently, steering feel is stiff because of the indicator cancel ring, and, furthermore, since I fitted the aftermarket wheel, there has been a series of 5 beeps repeating, coming from under the dash, not sure if It's speed related, or steering related, haven't been able to drive the car long enough to sus it out properly yet. But this beep is not the same as the speed warning we get at 108km/hr (sorry if your not metric). Anyone add to this?
Bob

sometimes the steering sensor behind your steering wheel will get out of alignment, and it will cause the 5 beeps

Probably the power steering computer telling you there is a problem with the system. The number of beeps before pausing will indicate the problem.
1-beep, pause, repeat - in case abnormality of speed sensor signal:
In case broken wires or short circuits occur to sensors or harnesses, the buzzer sounds 60-seconds after the engine speed signal of 2200 rpm continues for 18-seconds.
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.)
3-beeps, pause, repeat - in case abnormality of stepping motor signal:
The buzzer sounds when there are broken wires or short circuits in coils or harnesses.
4-beeps, pause, repeat - in case abnormality of the power steering microcomputer:
The buzzer sounds 4 and repeats when there are circuit troubles other than with the micro computer.
5-beeps, pause, repeat - in case abnormality of steering sensor signal: Steering sensor is mis-aligned or failed or steering wheel has been improperly installed.
hope it helps
