Default 94 gt beeping noise from dash?

I'm hearing a beeping noise coming from (I think) the passenger side dash. It's not my door/key chime because that works at the same time and sounds different. All I did today befor the noise was clean battery terminals, took out the cluster to clean dust from behind clear cover and while I had it out I took out the airbag bulb because it has always either stayed on or blinked, so I put everything back together and I have this beep. I put the airbag bulb back in and it doesent blink or stay on now but still have beeping noise. Any ideas?

Smile Glad to hear that fixed your blinking air bag light

My car is doing the same thing and I was getting ready to pull the cluster
to change bulbs and clean...then look at the blinking air bag light.

Did you disconnect the battery before taking out the cluster? You are
supposed to ... might trigger the air bag .... if not I would take it off
now and see if it resets everything back to normal...might be some kind of warning?

Plus, I would like to know since I am planning the same work today or tomorrow.

sounds like the air bag module is throwing a fault.

Default No codes

My thought too, but there are no codes in the computer...are there
even any on this old stuff for the Air Bag?

Will try the R&R of the cluster and remove the bulb, replace it and clean
everything...

Air bag codes are separate from engine codes. A code reader won't pull them. The beep is an issue with your airbag system. The beep starts when the bulb is removed or burned out to alert you to an air bag system fault. To get rid of the beep you need to reinstall the bulb, then figure out what the issue is making your light blink then fix it and reset the air bag system. I just went through all this reinstalling a stock wheel into a car that had an aftermarket wheel. I'll get back to this in a bit with the light codes and the reset procedure.

Here's a link to the codes and a description for how to count the lights

And here's a good video for how to reset it. Make sure your light is in and not blown.
Most likely your clock spring is bad. That's the connection from the air bag to the column wiring.
