My does f150 2006 is making an alarm sound as I’m driving. It sounds very close to the door open sound but isn’t that. I’ve done added gas it has oil Ive not only changed out old rusted antifreeze but mostly cleaned the container before adding new 50/50 antifreeze. It drives ok but the noise goes on for about a minute or two and usually stops but when I start it up again to drive it does it again.

Hello,

The five beeps, a pause, and another five beeps. Ford specifically identifies that pattern as an airbag restraint system warning that should be inspected promptly. Here is a video to show you how to scan for Airbag codes to see if this is the problem.

Let me know, thanks for the video it helps.

Hello thanks for your feedback. Upon inspection I noticed the airbag light bulb had completed detached from the module triangle and all. Had one wire still attached to the module and one wire still on the bulb/triangle.

Go find, that will make the warning chime go off. Once you make the repair the problem should be gone.
