Type 44 beeps while driving

[Nate Stuart]

You either have a bunch of blown bulbs in your autocheck display, or some
kind of faulty ground or +12v connection (I can't remember if the autocheck
box switches to ground or hot). The beep is indicating that there is
something wrong, and it appears to not be the oil pres. The autocheck does
more than just fluids too, could be the front brake pads, engein
overheating, faulty multifunction temp switch, blown bulb(s), etc... Get
hold of a bentley and spend some good quality time with a multimeter to sort
this thing out. Lotsa wires, and none are really easy to get to!

Good luck and happy holidays!
