Sounds like there are 2, a constant beep and a set of 5 beeps. The set of 5 sounds like the no airbag warning.

^^agreed. do you still have an oem steering wheel? I didnt see the airbag bulb illuminated in the video.

One way to get rid of the beeping is to unplug the connectors to the airbag ecu, which is tucked up above the gas pedal, near the trans tunnel. They're a bit of a PITA to get off, a small flatblade screwdriver and pick are helpful.

^^^ Whatever beep its supposed to be is all jacked up.

The resulting beep sounds like a European-ish style siren from a high pitch to a higher pitch. Eventually it just settles into a super annoying steady beep.

The air bag light blinks for some reason and most of the time the ABS light is on. Sometimes they will go out, sometimes not. I really don't care to fix any of that crap - I just want the beeping silenced. If I could find the source of the sound, I'd remove it but I can't seem to triangulate the speaker.

If I cycle the key a few times with the engine running, sometimes I can get the beep to go away for a while but eventually it comes back.

Still have the factory air bag. No collision and no air bag deployment. Air bag light comes on sometimes. I ignore it. Can't ignore the beep tho.... I've tried.

Have you ever had the gauge cluster out?

regardless, what I posted above will take care of the beeping, I'm fairly positive.

Sounds like you have some electrical gremlins there that need to be sorted out. The high pitch beep could be a short in your low coolant buzzer system.

Cluster has been out 3 or so years ago when I painted the interior plastics.

In the last year or so, lots of electrical gramlins have shown up. Starter interlock is now all wonky, odometer quit, ABS light, and the Air Bag light. None of them really matter to me. I don't care if they don't work, I just want them to be quiet about it!

I guess it COULD be the low coolant system I guess. but the light isn't on and I don't think its low on coolant.
