Unexplained warning chime.

Talk about the other 3800 powered GM cars, particularly for items not covered in other sections that may be unique to your year/model, and differ from a Bonneville.

Unexplained warning chime.

Post by Troyport »

1999 Olds eighty eight anniversary edition. About 6 miles into my 17 mile commute this morning, 10 degrees outside, highway speed, cruise at 68 mph. I got the "bong bong bong bong" - the 4-bong warning chime to check gauges. All gauges were showing normal stuff, no idiot lights on, running great, didn't have the directional lights on or anything.
When I got to work, shut the car off, then turned the key on to do the bulb check, everything was lit, so all was well. Anyone ever have this? I won't worry unless it repeats, but it sure was strange. Mike
