Strange Beep In Dash

I have an annoying beep/buzz that sounds like the old fashion headlight warning buzzers. It comes from behind the dash in the radio/AC vent area. Beep lasts for about a second (sometimes longer) and occurs after the car has been running about 2 minutes. Typically one beep then nothing. It will not do it again until the car is turned off and restarted.

The buzzing went away for a short time but it is now back but with a twist. Today when I turned on the turn signals it beeped on and off in sync with the turn signals.


Car is a 2000 Coupe (A4, Z51) and has the original radio/CD player. It throws no codes and has no known electrical issues.

I did a search and found some talk of the hazard switch causing problems with the brake lights and turn signals but those work fine. Any thoughts?

We're you able to figure out what the beep was?
Finally figured out it was the Hazard Warning Switch in the center of the dash. Seems like there is a small relay in the back of it that was going bad. After replacing the switch no more problems.:thumbsup3:

That's cool. I know the switches go bad I never heard anyone complain of a relay hum or beep.
