Door alert sounds. Why? 1998 318TI I'm hoping someone can help me figure this out. Out of the blue I'm getting an alert sound when I open the drivers side door. I park the car and turn off the ignition, remove the keys... everything seems cool. I open the door to get out and a warning chime goes beep, beep, beep... like I'm forgetting something. It's not the buzzer that sounds when the lights are left on, it's some other alert sound. I don't have an owners manual and don't know if I accidentally flipped some switch or something. No indicator lights seem to be lit in the dash. It's driving me nuts. It stops as soon as I close the door. I left the car parked for a few hours and there seemed to be no drain on the battery, but I'm concerned that the battery may drain if I leave the car parked for an extended period. What things will cause an alert sound to chime when the drivers side door is open? Last edited by Mazzio; 12-26-2011 at 12:06 PM. |
