AGH! The most annoying fault!!

Post by John145 »

So I came off a roundabout today and then...

PONG, PONG, PONG, PONG, PONG, PONG

Constantly....

PONG, PONG, PONG, PONG, PONG, PONG

...

PONG, PONG, PONG, PONG, PONG, PONG

...

The same bloody pong that goes off when you leave the key in with engine off but door open. No lights on the dash so assume the switch in the ignition barrel has failed. It's genuinely the most annoying thing I have ever experienced in a car! (Other than catastrophic engine failure lol)

Anyone else had this fault?

I thought the most annoying SW20 fault was the ever squeeky clutch pedal :evil:

Sounds like the switch in the door has busted or got stuck try pushing it in and out a few times..

I feel your pain. I have a constant beep which starts the moment the key starts to go into the ignition and eventually drops off (slowly) after a period of time. It's not the same noise as when you leave the lights on etc and seems to be linked to the DOME fuse.

What is it? No idea :|

Glad you fixed it though. These things will drive you slowly insane
