Title: Beeping driving me crazy
Post by: LynnWM1894 on October 24, 2020, 05:33:07 pm
I have a 2020 PC and there is this beeping similar to when a battery needs to be replaced in the smoke detector.  It is coming from the Convenience Center control panel behind the driver's seat.   Everything looks fine and nothing in the manual gives a hint as to where the beeping can be coming from.  I did notice the 'Bulk/Absorption' light blinking on the Samlex Solar panel but have no idea what that indicates either.

Also, a 'change oil' message is on even though it is a new unit.  Dealer said press the reset....did that but on the next start up I receive the 'change oil' message again

Any thoughts or suggestions?  My dealer responded with 'I dunno'

Not many ideas here, I guess.   You can always try the P.C. headquarters/factory, it's their product.

I had the change oil light come on when I picked mine up from the dealer new.  I was guessing that maybe they want you to change the oil sooner on a brand new engine?  I went ahead and changed the oil anyway.  I had around 1400 miles on it by the time I got home from the dealer.

There is SO much information here.  Have you tried   (https://cdn2.vectorstock.com/i/1000x1000/74/11/magnifying-glass-or-icon-search-symbol-in-flat-vector-27747411.jpg)   

Search 'Early Oil Change'

Read the manual for your solar charger, and the blinky lights will no longer be a mystery.  (nod)

The beeping...does it have a pattern?  I noted in the  E series 2019 manual it says a series of 5 beeps, repeated, indicates a SRS /Airbag problem.   There may be other error codes.

""My dealer responded with 'I dunno'":"    Your 'dealer'.... (WH)    The PC / Camper dealer would have no idea, they didnt build the cutaway.  A Ford dealer should be on it pronto, if they are not - find a better  Ford dealer.

The beeping does not have the pattern you suggested.  More like the beeping you hear in the middle of the night when the battery needs to be replaced in a smoke detector.

Thanks

As I recall, in our 2007 PC we have 3 different detectors.  I think they are for smoke, carbon monoxide, and propane.  Are you certain all 3 of your detectors have good batteries?  I think the propane unit is hard wired as it chirps when I kill power to the house.  But it might have a backup battery inside, I really don't know.

Our Tripp-Lite inverter will also chirp for reasons that escape me right now.
