WEIRD beeping...
When my car is OFF, w/ the key OUT of the ignition... AND, the door is open... as soon as you close the door or futz w/ the door open sensing switch, the beeping stops.
I'm getting a 2 beep signal... beep beep pause, etc... kind of like I left the lights on or something.
Now, I just checked the FAQ & Interpreted that if it was a system malfunction, that the car would have to be running for this particular series of beeps.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

unplug the Battery for 5 seconds (as NZ recommmends based on the FSM) or longer to see if you re-set your ECU. If it doesn't work then I would start diagnostic procedures for the electrical system.

My guess would be it's the key-in alarm that's going off because of a faulty ignition switch. There's a little switch inside it that's closed by inserting the key, so the CPU knows when you've left it in. Not sure on a fix though. It might be stuck closed, in which case some spray lube shot into the barrel might free it up.
