beeping when I turn.

Post by KrisBo84 »

I have a 1998 Astro. Have had it a year and a half. It has about ~185k. This week's it has started beeping every single right turn I make. I assume it is electrical. I can not figure out why it happens. Only when I am driving. Any ideas? No lights come on the dash. Before I bought the van someone had slightly crashed the door, the top doesn't close fully. I haven't had the noise issue before though.

The horn itself is beeping? I would start looking at the wiring under the dash to see if something is pinching. Weird it only does it to the right while driving.

My hazard switch recently broke, (it would not shut off), when trying to wiggle the button on the column to make them stop blinking the horn would occasionally honk. The harness on the multifunction lever on your column may have a short in it, there are alot of wires very close together, Im guessing that may be where your short is occurring.
