Beeping noise 3200

[Robbe]

Hi all,
My 3200 had a problem with its heater when I bought it last year. It did not really react to the turning knobs on the panel.
But as I did not use it much, it was a job for next summer.
But then it stopped completely, which was caused by a burned fusepanel.
I replaced the panel, and now it is working again, and it is even listening to the instructions I give it with the turning knobs.
Only the main display between the speedo and tacho is not working now. probably a fuse that needs replacing in the new fusepanel.
But since the replacement of the complete fusebox, I get a beeping noise every now and then.
A electronic sound of say 3 seconds.
Could it be the warning for low temperature outside? As the panel is not showing the outside temperature, I can't see if it says 2 degrees or so...
Thanks!

It is the ICE warning and as your panel is not working you don't see the flashing temperature warning symbol.

Panic over

Thought as much, thanks!
As it is 5 degrees, it sounds like the sensor in the mirror is at fault, wouldn't you agree?

mine makes a noise at 2 deg

Mine made plenty of beeps but many of them came from me!

yes it beeps at 2C,

So at 5 degrees, but still beeping, the sensor (or ECU ) is at fault, right?

Somethings not right. It shouldn't beep all the time either, just when the temp drops below 2C or on start up when the temp *is* below 2C

The ice warning is a long tone about 3 seconds long, not beeping.

Well that is it, a beep of 3 seconds, right. I guess that I better first find the cause for the display not working, most likely a fuse not connecting well enough.
Because maybe the fuse of the sensor is playing up as well...
Before I start dismanteling the door panel and mirror to access that sensor...

Should be just one beep though....

True...

Ok, maybe I described it wrongly, it is an electronic warning sound of 3 secs. then stops. But might sound again after 2 minutes, and after 10 , and then again after 13 minutes.
With temperatures of 5-7 degrees in reality, not 2 or under. So something is wrong.
(haven't had time to pull the box/panel apart, fuses itself are ok...)
Does this sound as a faulty sensor in the mirror? Or is there another sensor somewhere in the front bumper?

Heard it on one of my 3200's which had a control panel issue would do it for a bit then stopped. I've never know 3200 to have any decent aircon working or the heater controls have always resulted in steamy interior on days like today. Another afterthought.
