check the bulbs in your idiot light cluster......a very bad thing can be happening and u would never know.

Pop out the plastic surround (theres 2 plastic clips on each side....use 2 screw drivers and pry up at the same time fro best results.)
Unscrew the 2 screws on each side of the cluster and enjoy all of the wiring






Just kidding.....check all the bulbs in the back of it......its not that bad

Yes, that would be the easy way.

Is it a beeping or more like a buzzer. Is there a pattern? Is it coming from the area of the (i) gauges, (ii) near the CPU (near the dead pedal), or (iii) from the P/S box to the right of the steering column?

That will narrow it down.

is it like: beep beep, beep beep, beep beep, ect....?

usually happens when you get in your car and may continue even when you have your car idling. there is a little sensor on the back of your ignition. i think its like a reminder that your key is in the ignition?
