    Hi everyone,

    Can anyone advice if they have similar problem as stated. Beeping sound occurs :

    A) when ignition key is turn to position 2
    B) constant beeping ( like a pulse rate machine on the hospital bed )
    C) disappear when reverse is engage and comes on after selecting to neutral
    D) after engine started, beeping still remains and even after selecting 1st gearand driving off
    E) after ignition key is turn off, beeping sound still remain
    F) after a 30 mins drive, beeping sound disappear.

    I am on a f1 gearbox and have read issues of other members car with beeping sound but seems quite different from my case. Gear select correctly and no slippage of clutch or loss of power. Engine turned on and indicator shows "CHECK OK".

    After looking underneath the steering console, seems like the sound is emitting from the instrument cluster.

    Can anyone advice because the sound is driving me nuts!!

    Thanks in advance for any valuable advice.

    There's nothing to inspect unless you are an electronics wizard.
    The beeper is soldered onto the motherboard.
    It sounds as if it is working backwards I.e on when not in reverse and off when in reverse.....

    Do your cars have front parking sensors?

    Sorry cant help much as I've never heard of this problem before until now.

    My recommendation is to try and pinpoint where the sound is coming from as that may help us determine the root cause.

    Or, if all else fails, bite the bullet and take it to the dealer or an indy who can properly diagnose the problem with the right diagnostic equipment

    I agree.

    Can't put a price tag on peace of mind.
    If this continues to bother you just take it to the dealer or independent mechanic and tell them to fix it and be done with it.

    My mechanic is checking the problem for a week but still no solution. That is the reason I am seeking the help from Ferrari's friend in this group.

    I would suggest sending a private message to all those that have posted of having this problem, as many do not visit here frequently. They may have resolved the issue in the intervening years.

    Does everyone who is have this issue have the same model year car? I had a similar problem with a car once, turned out is was a bad parking light bulb, but the car did not have a dash warning light for that bulb so it just beeped a warning. I have no idea if that will help, but I am throwing it out there.

    Hi Friend,

    Thanks for reposting the audio clip.

    The interesting part is I have never heard that type / tone of beep before. It doesnt sound familiar to me.
    And I have no guesses either.

    rchantf, if your independent mechanic cant figure it out perhaps its time to take it to a Ferrari dealer.
    Do you have a Ferrari dealership close to you?

    Anyone else have any guesses on what that beep sound is?

    Dan

    Sounds like a cluster fault. Drop an email to Rod at FAI - he knows the cluster better than anyone.

    Hi Dan,

    My mechanic did talk to Ferrari dealer, they simply told us to replace a new computer module which is talking about a crazy money. They will not trouble shoot the problem.
