Phantom beeping noise

[sikedsyko]

Curious if anyone else's Ranger has a random beep coming from the infotainment system?

I need to setup a camera to record this, but I've had a random beep coming the dash/infotainment system. ~1-2 second high pitched beep. It doesn't seem to coordinate with any indications coming from the dash. Happens maybe 1 or 2 times per drive. 45 minute commute this morning and had it once within the first few minutes and then again about 30 minutes into the drive.

It happens whether I'm connected to Carplay or not.
It isn't the same noise as the shift indicator, which I have turned off.
Not the same noise as any of the park sensors.

Hi there! Will you send us a message with your VIN and your local Ford dealer? I can look into things on my end.

Video for reference: nothing on gauge cluster or infotainment indicates a warning. About 2 minutes after starting the truck.

Hum, granted I'm a senior adult from the 70's rock concert era..... but all i heard was when you turned on the blinker. Hope ya get it sorted out.

Does it only happen when turning? Something with the Blind Spot indicators / sensors?

I'm guessing the same thing, like it's associated with the turn signal, and thus the BLiS

I heard something chime and caught a glimpse of a navigation warning on the center console that mentioned an upcoming stop light. It was quick and if you blink you'll miss it. Funny thing is, I didn't have an active route going. Maybe it has to do with the speed limit sign notification turned on?

Wierd. Keep us posted.

I heard mine again. Had the nav screen up and it chimed to let me know of an upcoming school zone. The notice is too fast to be useful as it disappears in like 2 seconds before most people even notice it on-screen, and doesn't always do it, so it's kind of a useless feature as-is. Really, more of an annoyance if you ask me.
