Hey guys, the dude i sold the car to is experiencing some beeping noises. About 5 mins after he starts the car, there are pulses of 5 beeps that continue as the car is still running. Any ideas?

 

Do up your seatbelt.

 

Nope, not it.

 

my '87 gxl does that....only if I have had it in neutral and idling for 10 minutes or so. I don't know what the cause is but I just don't let it idle for more than 10 minutes or so.

 

Weird, but there has to be a reason. Resetting the battery will fix this up, correct?

 

mine did it for the longest tried lots never helped then it just stopped

 

Power Steering computer????

Check the PS fluid and for leaks.

 

Yup, a series of 5 beeps and then a space is the p/s controller.

You may also want to consider the steering wheel sensor located at the back of the steering wheel. Mine would let off a couple of beats for awhile until I took the wheel off and cleaned the back of It. Since then, no beeps.
