Default Five beeps on start-up

As I turn my ignition on, the bell underneath my dash rings 5 times. Short bursts.

Any idea what it means?

[BTW, it's a '98 V6 Coupe]

Other Fords have a similar chime that refers to the Airbag. Are you getting an airbag light? Maybe check the owner's manual read up on the airbag and it's warning systems to see if that's the case.

Seat belt check, It dose it in my car to remind me to put on my seat belt, regardless of weather its on already or not

OK, it's not the seat belt warning because that's a chime or ding sound. The 5 beeps is a higher pitch electronic beep sound and it seems to come right out of the area of the factory radio that isn't working.

Blanestang, I have no airbag light. I also don't have a manual so I can't check into the airbag warning system. Does anyone have one and can lend me a hand here? Anybody have any other ideas? Thanks all!
