The sound location is in proximity to the fuel pump. There have been several reported problems with 98/99 GM fuel pumps making a beeping sound. So you are not alone.

I personally have never had to diagnose the problem but from the reports I've read it appears to be caused by insufficient pressure. Drive your Olds into AutoZone and have them perform a free diagnostic scan. Should that not reveal any problems, have them perform a fuel pressure test.

2000 olds silhouette beeping

Sounds like a reversing beeper has got a problem in the circuit. Check for a reversing switch on the gear box or linkage. Once found disconnect it.
If the problem goes away you may need to replace it as it might also activate the reversing lights.
Good Luck

Equinox beeps when parked

A simpler solution: Turn off your AC. It has a sensor that beeps when it's over-heated. If you have a trip that will take a couple of hours or more, top off your coolant and turn your AC down to its lowest fan and temp level. You're welcome.

Beeps while driving

My van did this aswell, you must have a power sliding door, when it is not latched properly this warning goes off but it won't say on your message center "door ajar". Stop and reopen the door and close it again no more bell. good luck.

Trans in park computor read out on dash reads it is in drive

You most likley have a bent/damaged shifter cable. Unhook it at the trans, and move the linkage, with the park brake set. Push it all the way forward, that is park. The display should change and it should start. If so you will need the cable. Good Luck

When i put it in reverse it makes a loud clunk

Hi Ali,

This sounds like one or more of your motor/powerplant mounts is broken. Here is an easy test:

Have someone sit in the driver's sear with engine running and trans. in Park.
You stand in front with the hood open. Have them shift from Park to Reverse, and then Drive and back to Reverse and Park, taking time to stay in each gear and give some throttle while holding the brake pedal tight. This will rock or move the engine a certain amount as they shift through the gears and apply power lightly. It will move alot more violently with broken mounts.

If you have a clunking noise on Reverse shifts, you should be able reproduce this with the hood up and pinpoint the noise and/or sight the faulty motor mount with a friend's help. Good luck, I hope this puts you on the right track to fixing this annoying noise.

Sincerely, Tater Todd
