Soft Continuous beeping both batteries unhooked

Did you use it for high power target practice?

Not yet, & now I can't find the dang thing. My wife must of "put it away" for me. She can be so kind sometimes.

Soft Continuous Beeping Both Batteries Unhooked

Hello, I have a 2018 Ram 6.7. After experiencing a death wobble my truck started to softly beep inside the cabin about every second even with both batteries unhooked it continues. What could cause this beeping? It only began after experiencing the death wobble and has yet to stop. It’s so soft...

FCA’s factory installed, self-destruct device?

Maybe a lost wristwatch?

I wouldn't be so sure it's not. Some do beep. Usually when the lose ignition power or the built in battery voltage is low. Heres one model's excerpt from the user's manual.
I would be pulling the console if that's where it's coming from and post a pic of what you find.

On edit: The module under the center console/seat is the SRS Module. I've never heard of one beeping. By the way, is this your POV or a fleet/company truck?
Let us know what you find.

Not only will dealers put them in your car, but depending on the dealership, it's possible you paid for it.

It may be what is called an immobilizer or security bypass cable
i don't know if they have something like fancy "D" cell battery to power them

I would suggest that if you have a scan tool that several people use to program modifications like daytime driving lights etc

Not a tracking device. We are a private investigative agency and check all vehicles on a regular basis with bug detection equipment. We bought the truck brand new in cash from a dodge dealership.

The beeping stopped after 4 days and never returned. The dealership claimed the death wobble jarred something due to the rapid bouncing. They messed with all the connections and it stopped.

This one your showing is not a covert tracker. It is for fleet vehicles. It’s is not meant for covert tracking. I am an expert in this area.

I appreciate everyone’s help. Problem was fixed.

I never suspected or called it a covert tracker. You did. If it was "covert" it wouldn't make an audible tone. And you have no idea of my expertise. Just trying to help.
Enjoy the beep.

On edit: I see the dealer obviously removed the inventory tracker so you won't hear the beep. You saved them $109.

For anyone that co.es across this heres a video of a guy that found the device and the removal of it. They vary in installation. The one in the video they butchered the harness. The one I found was plug & play through the OBDII port.

I just had to post a reply to this old thread, because for me it was my EZPASS and I had to also disconnect my battery to figure out what it was

My wife has several apple-based trackers and they beep under certain circumstances. Esp when the batteries go low. I've seen/heard it many times because I've had to change the batteries in them.

The seat is really easy to remove. Just 4 bolts and a couple wire harnesses to unclip. Then you can clearly see what's under there. That would be a convenient place to put a tracking device.
