Car started beeping when driving down road

I was driving down the road and the beeping noise that comes on when you leave your lights on w/ keys still in car came on... both doors were shut, my emergency brake is off.. i even buckled both seat belts to be sure that wasn't the issue. It's not a constant beep... more like a beep, beep, beep. The brake light came on, it's red (had an excamation mark next to it and a P in a circle on the other side) but I'm not really sure if that is related to the beeping. The anti-lock brake light has been on since I got the car also. Just not really sure where the beeping is coming from... kind of annoying too :) Please help..!!

98 Chevy Lumina engine wont turn over

Its time for another car Jerry.
The oil pressure light was telling you the engine was running on less than 10 psi of oil pressure, and the knock was a rod or main bearing.
Now that the engine has been run low on oil pressure for some time, one of the rod or main bearings is junk, and so is the engine.
By the time you replace the engine, even with a used one, you could take the same money and buy another car. Even if you took the engine apart and fixed the bad bearings, the rest of the engine parts are very weak from running without oil.

Next time this happens, check to see if the SECURITY light shows up on the dash. The security that comes on that vehicle can actually kill the motor if its not comminicating properly.

Loud Beeping noise when the car is started

If you are using the smart key and you do not have it in the ignition, it will send a signal thru the car speakers to let you know that the keys are not in the ignition(beep,beep,beep,beep), and that they are to far from the sensor. Next time you are driving and the keys are in your pocket, pull them out and wave them around the speedometer. It will notice keys in car and the beeping will go away.

Beeping noise - 2005 Mustang

You know, I have a 2005 Mustang GT that honks randomly. MAKE SURE you troubleshoot it now. I waited and now my alternator is fried. About 95% of voltage disturbances can be contributed to the alternator, and from what I understand the alternators on our cars are notorious for crapping out. -Amanda
